It looks bad, but it's all good!
1I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
19Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
I think on the scripture, "in everything give thanks..." and sometimes I can honestly wonder how can you give thanks at ALL TIMES for all reasons. There are so many unfortunate times that arise and mean us harm. Different things occur to discourage us and bring us down. So, how can I be thankful for a hard time? I really had to take a lesson from the above text.
So many things can arise against you. You can be cursed with a curse and plagued with bad luck and just can't grab a break. Things happen one after the other. Even the most righteous aren't exempt from trials. things will happen. That has been proven to be a trial and error based fact! The lesson is despite how much you go through, for however long you're going through it, you were not consumed. You're still here. Since you're still here, I believe Donnie McClurkin said it the best, you can get back up again!
You can be in the fight, and even lose. but as long as you aren't dead, round 2 is coming. Your enemy(s) has it out for you. The devil is gonna come at you with everything he's got. God holds life in his hands. Until god calls you home, you always have another chance to get up after you been hit and catch the devil wit a two-piece counter. Strike back at your enemies wit a Jesus hook. You have a fighting chance, because God didn't allow you to be consumed. It may seem bad. You may be down. As you're reading this post right now, I know you're not out for the count! Keep moving! Keep fighting! Keep your faith!

One thing you must do to attain the things you desire is ask for it (Matthew 21:22). There are a couple of catches to the thing. You have to must know what you are asking God for. You can't expect God to grant you something you don't need; something that will cause you to go against the will of God. You can't seriously expect God to grant you that desire. You must have wisdom in your request! That's like giving a child a gun because he asked for it. Not such a smart move! After using wisdom in your request, you must believe that God has sent it in the mail already. You gotta believe that it's already done. The receiving is in YOUR BELIEVING! You don't believe, your chance of receiving is very minimal.
2 Chronicles 20:20 says, "And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper." You want that new house? That new car? Believe in the Lord your God! You want that new job? That promotion you've been waiting for? Believe in the Lord your God! You want that husband or wife you've been waiting for? Believe in the Lord your God! Does that spiritual break through that seems to be taking its time? Believe in the Lord your God! Prosperity is there for the taking! Your foundation is ready for you to establish yourself! ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS BELIEVE IN THE LORD YOUR GOD!
