Purpose driven Curveballs

I really did not want to write this post today, only because I am going through so many personal trials right now and keeping the faith through it all is not very easy. I am hoping that writing this post is in some way going to help me to keep the faith or at least remind me that I am not alone in what I am going through.


The title of this post may sound a bit weird but in a nutshell is about the purpose of all the negative situations we are placed in. When we are going through something difficult it is often very hard for us to look at the positive side of things, taking the high road or adopting the glass half full approach sounds ridiculous cos we can’t imagine this turmoil ever ending. The thing about those negative situations is the fact that they have a purpose.



I will use a famous bible parable to elaborate on this, Think of Joseph, if his brothers did not sell him to Pharaoh then he would not have been able to interpret Pharaoh'S dreams and prevent the nation from starving. You see just like Joseph your curveball has a purpose. It’s hard to see it now but it is there.




In Psalm 32:8 God says “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” All we need to do is ask GOD for that guidance that we so badly need.


Here is a prayer that we can pray to him:

Heavenly father and most Gracious GOD, Please help me through this tough time that I am going through. Lord other have forsaken me and people whom I relied on have gone away. Lord I know that you are always here with me even through this, I remember the many other trials that I have been through and know that I am victorious only through you. I put my life in your hands and I ask that your guiding hand show the me direction that I need to take. I thank you Lord for this answered prayer.

Amen


Keeping the faith Always
