And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. — Exodus 14:21-22
There are many times that life presents us with challenges. I doubt that one person reading this has gone through life without facing any difficulties. We know that difficulties are part of life and can have a wide range of circumstances.
For example, some difficulties may be with sickness, finances, jobs, family, or many other things. A lot of the difficulties we face are common life difficulties. Then, there are times when life gives you significant challenges and difficulties.
These situations come, and you find yourself facing circumstances where there seems to be no way out. Sure, these can fall into those different areas I described before, but they are different. Often, they lead to words being said like, “there’s no way I can deal with this.” Or perhaps you have said or heard the words, “I can’t make it through this.”
I often think about what was going through the mind of the children of Israel as they stood in front of the Red Sea. The enemy they faced was bearing down on them, and they truly saw no way to go forward. But God, through an amazing miracle, made a way forward through their situation. They made it to the other side.
What are you facing today that seems insurmountable? Is the enemy drawing close? Are the circumstance you face preventing you from seeing a way forward? Don’t forget what God can do! He is able to make a way when there seems to be no way. Don’t lose faith. Put all your trust in God, the one who can do amazing and marvelous things!

Lots of prayers needed these days. The people in Ohio need our prayers, especially.
Pray for the people in Ohio and other states that are now experiencing the fallout. God bless President Trump for announcing he is going there. Pray for his protection.
God bless you.
Can he fix the tainted waters coming from Ohio that's spreading exponentially? Lots of kiddos and families paying the price while we all play on forums..
Sorry for the negativity. Just feels super shitty lately..
Always remember that God loves us/our family members more than we ever could. While we are not immune from suffering while on the earth...we have an eternal rest for those who are in Christ. It is the age old question...why do good people suffer? The important thing is to get right with God...make sure you know Jesus as you personal Savior...he doesn't take away all suffering...rather he carries us through...like the footprints in the sand poem.
Don't feel bad for being discouraaged...these times are overwhelmingly sad for so many people. Put your faith and hope in the Lord...who will never leave you nor forsake you...don't let external circumstances dictate your demeanor...we are to rejoice in the Lord always...not because we are happy about the circumstances, but because we have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and discovered that He is with us...His love, mercy and grace never fails.
God bless you and yours...we are ALL going though trials and sometimes these "forums" are to give encouragement and hope to the hopeless. I pray God's richest blessing on you and your family. Remember crying lasts for the night but joy comes in the morning. Cry your heart out to God...He understands...and He is faithful...
I am tired of crying out to Him and getting no response
I don't know whether or not you are a Christian...if you aren't you need to repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior...that is the prayer from the unbeliever that God hears. If you have a Bible read Psalm 23...also
MATTHEW 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
I guarantee that God knows you and He cares about you. Read the third chapter of John where Jesus explains to Nicodemus that faith is believing what you can't see and he goes on to tell him how much God loved the world...John 3:16...
God is real...He is where ever you are and He desires to have a relationship with you...
Now your part is to prayerfully seek the Lord...He is not lost...give him everything that you are and see what He does with it. He is the Great I Am...creator of the Heavens and the earth...and you...let go and let God...
Just start worshipping God for what He can do and be in your life...God inhabits the praise of man...
Seek and ye shall find
Ask and it will be given to you
Knock and the door will be opened...
God bless you richly...
I hear ya. Feeling shit too. Empath absorbing everyone's negativity
This is very good but I am reminded that "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Moses had to have others help him hold his arms up so that the waters remained parted for the people to safely cross. We are fortunate to have Christ who strengthens us. I feel challenged, but not defeated...I have seen God make a way where there seems to be no way...that is enough...He is faithful...
Amen
