Reaching Your World with Luis Palau

Dealing with the Tough Stuff


Listen Later

Are you hurting inside? Do you feel like giving up? When crisis, heartache, or stressful situations arise, one of the worst mistakes you can make is to pretend that nothing is wrong. To find relief from our problems, we must first acknowledge them and the inner turmoil they are causing. Only then, can we embrace the “father of mercies and God of all comfort," Jesus Christ. 
Another mistake people make when experiencing a tough time is to make impulsive, un-prayed for, panicky, sudden moves. Ephesians 6:13-14 says, “..take up the whole armor of God…stand firm! Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.” So stand firm in your faith, and lean on the indwelling Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember that each time we face a crisis, people are watching for our reactions and wondering how we will respond. They want to see if being a follower of Jesus really makes a difference when life gets tough. So, acknowledge the reality of your pain, but take rest in the power of the Holy Spirit, and in God’s peace—which surpasses all understanding. People will notice how you behave in difficult circumstances, and your reliance on God could open doors for conversations about Jesus.
