No Match~

Tuesday greetings~
A part of yesterday's prayer said, "We must take the focus off our trials and focus on the One Who sees us through every single one."
How do we do that?
Psalm 34:3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!
Yes, that's an invitation, and I am extending it to you!
Magnify means to enlarge and make bigger. And we magnify the Lord by praising Him more than worrying about our struggles. We make Him bigger by praying more then fretting. We enlarge Him by thinking about His goodness, strength, and unmatched power, and when we do that, our problems begin to pale in comparison.
It is natural to worry. We are good at it. There is not one place in the Bible that says, "You beautiful humans are so strong and able to rise above and never worry; good for you!"
On the contrary. Verse after verse, including the one above, encourages us to take proactive steps in order to have that joy and peace that seem so elusive at times.
No need to RSVP to my invitation. Let's do it!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We magnify You now by calling on Your powerful name! Help us, heal us, guide us, protect us, provide for us, give us peace and joy, and do the same for those we love. Nothing or no one can even come remotely close to Your magnificence, and we know it. All discouragement, suffering, and problems are no match for You. In Jesus' name, AMEN~
