You Can Make It!

You Can Make It!

There are many times that we feel as if we will not make it through our day! In Christ, we can make it. What a comfort it is to know that we can turn everything over to Jesus! If you are loaded down with the worries of your day why not do what Peter said in the 1 Peter 5:7, 

“Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you." (NCV) 

The power of Christ can help us deal with whatever comes our way. There is no need to be afraid if we are trusting in Him with everything. If we do not look to Him, then we are helpless when we face difficult times. We are lost trying to find our own way.   There is only one thing you can do when you are lost… use your compass and find “true north”!  That's what outdoors adventures are taught.   What is our true Spiritual North?  It's simple, it's the Cross!  Philippians 4:6-7 NLT

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”


Our true direction is found only when we surrender our worries and anxiousness to him!  There is only one way to find peace to find direction and that is on our knees before the Cross in prayer!  Jesus has some powerful word he leaves us in John 14.   A better way to put it is, Jesus gives us a powerful GIFT!


““I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”

John 14:27 NLT



So right now why not just take a second to turn it all over to Jesus. Remember He cares for you!


Love & Peace
