Dealing with hard times

 Hey everyone 🌸🌸🌸! Happy Easter!!! I hope that you all had like an amazing time filled with family and friends, with hope and joy, for Jesus died for our sins.

This weekend, I went on a Easter Camp. I saw God move in many places in my life, and other peoples lives. I heard testimonies and how people's lives were changed because of the Holy Spirit. 🔥I felt the Messiah in many ways and I cried multiple times, (note to self: Bring Waterproof mascara next camp 😋!) I learnt how important it was to pray for others and I got the chance to pray for many of my friends. At one point we even stayed up most of the night and held a prayer circle! 🙏🏻

I wanted to share a verse for dealing with hard times, it was my verse of the day when I read the bible 📖 this morning:

John 1:12 says: God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterwards they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 💗

And I was like WOW🤩. I was like seriously stunned 😲. Somehow my bible had opened up to the page I needed to read at that time. That got me thinking about Job. For those who haven't read about Job, he was a good man and trusted God ✝️and he was filled with faith. God rewarded him with prosperous riches 💵 and children and he was at a stage in his life were he loved 💗God and God loved him. Satan wanted to test Job so he took away everything 🤒. The riches, his children, his home. 😭 The only thing that wasn't harmed was Job. Job was really sad. 😔He was going through a hard time and he often lamented to God but he never directly blamed or cursed God. At the end once Satan 👿 had stopped cursing him, God restored his life to the fullest, even richer then it was before. ✝️🤩🤞🏻

And I just wanted to remind all of you that just because you are going through a hard time 😔 doesn't mean that God doesn't love you. HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH HE DIED AND WORE THE CROSS ON HIS BACK SO YOU COULD LIVE FOR ETERNITY ✝️💗📖🙏🏻 Just because you can't feel him doesn't mean he's not there. Just because there may not be much hope doesn't mean there's no light 🕯️ on the other end.

Praise the Lord ⛪ and trust him even when times are tough, and eventually in Heaven 🕯️🙏🏻you will prosper and be rewarded. In this blog post I would like to encourage you to leave a message to Daughters of the King asking for any prayer requests you have. It can be big, or small. I want you to know you are not alone. God bless you this week.
