10 Devotionals When Your Life is Falling Apart By Angela Guzman

Revelation 22:13

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."

Who else can say that but God? No one, only God can say such a thing. God knows everything - the past, current and future and our knowledge and understanding doesn’t even compare to the knowledge and understanding of God – even when it applies to our own life. When you don’t understand what God is doing in your life, consider the source. Who do you put your trust in - God or yourself?

Here is something to remember - man is fallible. We fall short and at times we’re unable to keep our promises. Man can give you instructions that are misleading and imperfect. With God, none of these things are possible. God keeps his promises and he will not mislead you.

James 1:2-3

"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow."

The Bible says when trouble comes, and trouble will come in this life, that we have to do something. The word is simply saying don’t think you’ll be with out trouble but here is what you can do. Instead of getting upset, angry or even withdrawn because trouble has come, you need to do what the bible says and consider it a joy. Do not fill your life with more negatitivity by reacting with anger instead infect your life with positivity and allow the storm to pass. Only you can change the course of action - be strong and venture on.

Philippians 4:6-7

“Not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

When we give something to God, it feels wonderful because we are essentially giving the burden, worries and cares of that situation over to him. You will feel an overwhelming peace knowing that it is in his hands. The problem is when we 'take back' the issue. Whether it be taking back control of something we surrendered to him, trying to take care of ourselves in an area, try to figure out our own way, when we initially asked for his direction - no matter what way you put it all of these things will cause us to be regretful and cause us more pain and frustration. God will be there for you unlike anyone else you will have in your life and the best part is that he wants to be that statue in your life.
