Some days our situations can be less than ideal. Our job may drain us, our children may follow the wrong path, and we may be overwhelmed by other situations we face.

How do we rise above our situation and keep our sanity? We look to our Savior who completes us and makes us whole.

How do I know this? The Bible tells us how to rise above any situation.

Just remember:

• Peace comes only from God. We can search for peace through human methods, but only God can give us the truly lasting peace that we yearn for (Isaiah 26:3).
• Any “fires” that we face, God can overcome them. No matter how bad you think your situation is, God is bigger than that situation.  There is nothing that He cannot fix for you if you ask for His help (Daniel 3:17).
• Sometimes we must suffer through some situations. Growth comes from learning and turning to God for help when we need it (1 Peter 2:21).
• We will be delivered from any situation.  Call on God and ask for help. He will deliver you from any situation that you face. It may not be the answer you are looking for, but there will be deliverance (Psalm 40:17).
• Don’t be troubled and worry when facing any situation. Worry doesn’t do any good. Turn to God and let Him guide you through your situation. Cast your worry on Him (John 14:27).
• God loves us no matter what. God wants to give us His unconditional love and nothing can every separate us from Him. No matter what situation we face, God is there for you and loves you (Romans 8:38-39).

In a bad job situation, God is with you every step of the way and is guiding your steps each day you go to work. When your children are wrapped up in bad situations, God is looking out for them and keeping them safe because you are praying for their safety and their redemption. In any situation we face, God is there holding our hand and wiping away our tears. He loves us with an unconditional love that we can never imagine.

You are never alone. God is with you through every situation you face. Lean on Him for support and His love through any situation you are facing.
