1 Samuel 30:6 (King James Version)
6. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
It is such a blessing to have others to encourage us during times of trials and all the pitfalls of this life, but there are times when we have to "encourage" ourselves. Because of Jesus Christ we are encouraged and strengthened "in Him". This is the key, it is in Him we are made conquerors! In Him we are victorious! Does this mean things will always turn out the way that we are praying? No, I don't think so, and Thank God for that! We do not see this whole picture of our life and all the others entwined within it. We can and should pray specifically at times, but there are times when we just pray the will of God! Knowing that He has a plan for our lives. Going on our knees and being renewed from the Lord Himself. Oh don't get me wrong, I am so thankful for everyone that prays for me and it is an honor for me to pray for others, but there are times when I have to "encourage"myself in Christ! I just go to Him praying and reading His Word and claiming those promises from my Father to me. I pray for you today to be strengthened in the trials you are facing. God is real and He is there for you! Blessings sisters!
