Scriptures For Tough Times | Fuel For The Weekend

We have made it to the end of another week. I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend! My daughter has an appointment this morning and she will be getting some results back. We are praying for good results but we know that this is a serious health issue and so we are praying and trusting God. Have you been worried or stressed lately? Do you have a health issue that has you concerned? Are you praying for a loved one? Is there more month than money left over? Are you asking God for something special and it looks like it might not happen? I want to share some scriptures on how to combat fear and stand on the promises of God. These are some of my favorites to stand on and a few I have found that I am going to start standing on. I hope you will join me.

ISAIAH 41:17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

HEBREWS 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 

What are your favorite scriptures? What helps you the most when life is scary or the unknown is staring you in the face? We do not have to be afraid. As Christians, we have hope and we have Jesus. There is nothing more we need than God on our side. Amen? 

I hope this post has encouraged you and helped you. I am holding on to God's Word to get me through this life, with the highs and the lows. How about you? I pray something I have shared today has given you strength for your journey and light for your way. God bless you!
