“And said, I called out of my trouble and distress to the Lord, and He answered me...” ❤️ “When my soul was fainting within me, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple.” — Jonah 2:2 & 7 . . “Are you currently in unusual or difficult circumstances? ... God is using those circumstances to get your attention.” . . “We can never stray so far from God that He cannot hear us. He will respond when we cry out to Him.” ❤️ — The Everyday Life Bible, featuring notes & commentary by @joycemeyer . . It’s never too late. Turn to Him. He hears our prayer ☺️ After all, He is a God of second chances. #itsNOTaiButHIM (at Meiji Shrine, Shibuya, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4BkJ8RleDF/?igshid=t3whxxwgvyqw

Life is tough. We all know that. But life without God is tougher. There are so many things that are beyond our control. Struggles that never seem to end. And just imagine having to go through all of that on your own. I mean, what’s more difficult than that? When you feel like you have nowhere to go, or got no one to talk to. Whatever it is you’re going through right now... You can always run to Jesus. ❤️ You can pray — Anytime. Anywhere. You can talk to Him directly. Confess your heart out to Him. After all, He knows what’s in there. Ask for His help. Surrender to Him. He knows what’s best for you. And the struggles you’re facing right now... No, you don’t have to fight it. “All you have to do is face it, and He will fight it.” The battle is not ours. So, let go and let God. #itsNOTaiButHim (at Tempozan Harbor) https://www.instagram.com/p/B39v-A6FtN-/?igshid=lhjw6qxdhl5w

Blessings and Curses. In life, we’re given free will to choose the way we want to live. And everything comes with a price. ✖️ A path that leads to curse and misery. 〰️ Disobey God. You know it’s wrong and still do it. You don’t do what you’re asked to do. You’re asked not to go, you still go. For in these times... He won’t be with you. 〰️ Depend on yourself. You think you’re blessed because you’re righteous. You think it’s from your own power and strength. You think highly of yourself. 〰️ Let the enemy deceive you. When he says: Take a shortcut. It’s only this one time and you won’t do it again. No one will know about it... After giving in to his temptations... he now starts to make you feel bad for doing it. ✔️ Or a path that leads to blessings. 〰️ Trust & obey God. Something I’m still working on 🙈 Sometimes I get too shy / worried / scared of what God’s asking me to do... 〰️ Depend on Him. NOT on yourself / other people / your career / your business / your savings / on other things. What He has given, He can also take away. Something I have to relearn over and over. Hopefully not this time🤞🏼 〰️ Stay faithful and patient. Many, many times I wanted to give up! Sometimes I ask God why am I waiting for too long... will it ever end? Am I almost there? Will I ever get there? But countless times I was reminded that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. An oak tree may take years to grow... but has a strong foundation that won’t easily be torn apart by any storm. Wherever you are in life, God is teaching you something. It may be patience to wait. Faith, trust or humility to depend on Him. Whatever it is, know that He’s preparing you for the bigger picture. Sometimes you think you’re waiting on Him, when in fact He’s just waiting on you. Or maybe you’re ready, and God hasn’t taken you there yet. Still wait on Him. It could be that the people involved in that blessing are still being prepared by God for it. I’m not there yet.. But I believe He’s preparing me and all the people involved for that greatest blessing in my life ☝🏼 In His most perfect timing... everything will fall into place. In Jesus’ name! Amen. ❤️ #itsNOTaiButHIM (at Tokyo Disneyland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qHqDzlquT/?igshid=g4wb2nyoootr
