When everything seems to be against you

Greetings friends.


We all have faced moments in our lives in which everything seems to be against us and everything is complicated, health, economy, social, and you ask: God why you have abandoned me? The answer is that God never abandons you, He is very close to you even when the pain does not allow you to feel it. Isaiah 41:13 says, " For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you”.

Personally, I experienced that period where my health could not be controlled, the doctors did not find a treatment that could stabilize it, I began to have problems at work, I was prohibited from driving and I began to depend totality on others, to the point that by medical instructions I could not continue working due to my health condition. I lived in a place where there was an economic recession and where our expenses had increased with the arrival of our second child. A very unpleasant situation but where God became our refuge. Two years of total and absolute dependence on God but where I could see his wonders reflected in our home

To begin with, I was presented with the possibility of getting a surgery for my epilepsy, a possibility that had been totally ruled out in the beginning, and that thanks to God was a successful one. Then, seven months later, my husband was offered a new job in another country with better benefits and where my salary was no longer necessary; Our whole life began to improve.
Although my health has not reached the point of stability that is expected, I have full confidence in God that what will be best for my happiness and that of my family will soon occur. Today, looking back, I can see that there was a dark road that we were able to walk along with the presence of Jesus, who guided us to see the light of a new day. Today it seems that I am younger after going through that storm in my life. During that time, I received the help of friends and relatives that God put in our way and supported us. But I also experienced the refusal to help me from other friends and family I hoped to have counted on. This taught me that the word friend is something sacred, not used with everyone, they are the family we have selected. It was a moment of great spiritual and emotional growth that made me the strong woman that I am today. Now I understand that God prepared me for later fulfill the responsibility of telling others that there is a God that can do everything and for who there is nothing impossible if we lay and maintain our faith in Him.

God had another course for me, it was not accounting, reason I cried when I left, it was a new course that led me into writing, so I could tell others that not everything is lost if we put our trust in Him. That is why even if I do not know what is the situation you may be going through, I tell you once again not to give up because God has great things for you. He says in Matthew 7: (7-11) " Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.⁹ “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!".

If you have a problem, give it to God and wait for His indication, He will let you know which is the best way to go, for as every Father seeks your happiness. Not always what we ask for will make us happy, but what God gives you is what will really bring joy and happiness to your heart. For a long time I asked God to allow for me to go back to work as an accountant but He kept that door closed, instead He opened the door to writing and although at first I thought it was not for me, now I feel the most blessed woman in the universe. It is something like when a child asks us something and we deny it for its sake and the child by his ignorance does not understand and cries and quarrels, then when he is an adult, he understands and appreciates why his father denied him what was asked. I hope that each one of you could understand that you have a God who can do everything. I encourage you to give your burdens to Him so that you can see His power reflected in your life. God bless you.
