Thoughts

Life doesn't always go to plan! One minute we are living life only to find the next minute we are facing difficulty in many different formats.

Being a Christian doesn't mean that we won't face difficulties in life, in fact the road is tougher in many ways as we struggle to live out our lives the way God showed us to. But the fact remains, whatever difficulties we face in life relationships, health, money, loss etc., we have the reassurance that God travels with us through it and that He is the rock on which we stand, which we cling to in times of difficulty.

The old hymn, What a Friend we Have in Jesus reminds us that whatever difficulties we face we should take it to the Lord in prayer, that is the reassurance we have in our Lord Jesus that we have been given a way to the Father through Jesus. Our lives are made richer and blessed because of the sacrifice Jesus made, and our relationship with Him is to be built upon and strengthened through prayer. Therefore in tough times and good times we should give him the praise and thanks for He is the greatest friend we could ever wish for.
