Last evening I was watching a gospel choir competition and their was a judge named Fred Hammond and he said something that was so profound, he said, "If you fall, praise Him from the floor." That is such a wonderful thing about the Lord, we can praise Him from where we are, and He will meet us there. So, if we fall, He will be right there to help us and comfort us, but we have got to praise Him. We are never so unworthy that we can not talk to Him and share what we are going through. However, the key is to just say something to Him, even if it is just His name.
You can get through your trials and tribulations. They may seem so final and the damage may seem permanent, but not so, when it comes to faith in what God can do. There is no problem so big, but, we have to believe that He will do all that He said. Here is what I have found, there is a way that we process and assess our circumstance, then, we decide that it needs to be handled a certain way, by a certain time. So, we zoom in on the outcome that we want. What about the outcome that God wants for us. We just have to learn to pray and praise through the fire, pray and praise through the storm, pray and praise through the tears, pray and praise from the floor. Sometimes, we can stand right in the way and cause a real mess, when all that has to be done is to step aside and let God abide. He will not fail us, but patience is what we must have. Our time has nothing to do with Him, because His time is right and far exceeds any plan we have. If we just resign ourselves to trust and let Him work and stop running interference, I will get through and you will get through every trial. It is not easy to get through trials, they are painful and worrisome, but God will show us just how wonderful and great He is.
You can get through it, whatever it is, just find a way to pray and praise from right where you are. He hears what you don't say.
With inspiration,
Oreadea
