We tend to think that worrying is no big deal, but do you know that it can cause you to miss a destiny moment? When we’re anxious and stressed, we allow our daily cares to pull us away from Him. Instead, we need to give our undivided focus to Jesus.
It's comforting to really believe things will work out okay…even on a day like #GoodFriday, with so much suffering and pain. When nothing made sense and everything was hard, God worked it out for good—bringing the greatest blessing mankind will ever receive!
We can believe Friday was good because of the result it brought, not because of what happened at the time. I know after I have gone through a really hard time, I've looked back and thought that I wouldn't even be half the person I am now if that wouldn't have happened. Haven't many of us experienced this? Don't we wish we could just grow in good times?
But we only seem to really grow during hard times. I think it's because it's during those times that we really press into God and go to a deeper level in our relationship with Him. Why? Because we have to. It's our only choice if we want to make it through the difficulty. When we trust God, He gives us the comfort of knowing that He can work bad things out for our good.
Study these scriptures today: Matthew 27:1–62, Mark 15:1–47, Luke 22:63–23:56, and John 18:28–19:37
If you are tempted to give up on something or someone, put your trust in God and believe that even if you don't have the power to change the circumstances, He does. #JoyceQuote
If it had not been for the goodness of God, you wouldn’t be where you are. You could still be wounded; you could still be hurt. Yes, it was painful. It may not have been fair, but look at you now. You’re recovered, you’re healthy, you’re moving forward.
The reason the enemy is fighting you is because there’s a calling on your life. There is an assignment for you to fulfill. The fact that you have forces trying to stop you is a sign that you have a great destiny.

It looks like it’s going to take a long time to get well, to break the addiction, to meet the right person. No, get ready. It’s going to happen quickly. It’s going to be unusual, out of the ordinary. You’re going to know it’s the hand of God.
