Psalms 59:16-17

16 But I will sing of your strength, 

in the morning I will sing of your love; 

for you are my fortress, 

my refuge in times of trouble.

17 O my Strength, I sing praise to you; 

you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God

We often hear about how God will get us through things but how many of us really believe it? And even if we do believe it how many of us apply it to our lives every day? God cares about us and he wants us to succeed, and he wants us to succeed in a big way. In order to succeed in a big way though we have to overcome big obstacles, each of our obstacles will be different for some it might be a busy week at school with a lot of hard tests coming up, or it could be that our family is going through a hard time, or it may just be that we are having a hard time being a good friend, son, daughter, whatever it is there are obstacles to be over come everyday laid out by the devil in order to trip us and make us fall. If we remember though that God wants us to succeed and that with a little effort on our part we can succeed, that we can in a Christian and Christ like manner prepare and succeed on a test, be a better friend, make it through that busy time of the school year, and even be a more Christian and Christlike child. So this week pay attention to the obstacles you have to overcome and remember to call on God to get you through it and make sure to listen for your answer and just as importantly remember to walk as though God has already answered your prayer. This means that if you have asked God for help in studying then remove the barriers you can that would hinder you from studying, turn off the t.v, and your music ask your family to be quite so that you can study and then really try to focus on what you are doing and when you do that God will meet you where you fall short and help you to succeed. So this week expect success in your endeavors only if you ask God and take yourself to your full ability because that is where God will come and meet you and carry you the rest of the way. Have a Good week every one.
