Shedding worldly weights, trials and pain

Lately, this blogger has been given to focus on what really matters.  One thinks an unsettling emotion of perhaps envy or jealousy is conquered, then BOOM!  One little circumstance totally crushes the spirit giving way to a really bad attitude.  The solution? First, of course, in Jesus' Name ask forgiveness for such an attitude.  THEN, focus on what awaits when this life is done!  For every believer this is the only hope.  Much more could be added in thought and scripture but below are just a few verses on the subject that speak truth alone.  

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Rom 12.12

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Rom 15.13

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jer 29.11

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  Isa 40.31

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isa 41.10

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.  Ps 39.7

The prayer of this blogger is that the reader will discover a way beyond whatever may be discouraging at this time.  

God bless and keep you is my prayer,  Ps 57.7, Num 6.24
