How To Overcome In A Crisis Situation Through Trusting In The Lord.

All over the world the story is the same as people are facing hard times. The coronavirus outbreak has caused untold pains to many families, not only of the loved ones lost but economic difficulties as well. In that situation you might ask what to do to beat the odds? Or how do I cope with the effects of the coronavirus?

First this is the best time to remember the Lord and His promises in the Bible. The Bible contains a huge treasure of promises that can never fail. God had placed them there to be our hope for every situation in life, to increase your faith. Hence it is safe to present the promises of God before His throne as a treasury bill. They are given to us on the oath and power of God to perform what He had said. So when we hold them by faith, in essence, it means we believe in who God is and who he wants to be to us. Hebrew 10:23.

However in any crisis always remember the promises of God. We have a God who faithfully keeps his promises. No matter what you are going through right now, God keeps His words. Are you struggling in the crisis to make ends meet, then remember He keeps His promises? Even if you are worried about the future, remember His words. He had said “Call on me in the time of trouble, and I will show you great and mighty things”. Moreover, He had said I will deliver you in the time of crisis.

In times of crisis we can emphasize over and over again the Almightiness of the Lord instead of the fear brought by our circumstances. Our God Is Greater than everything in the universe no matter what. He has shown us His power in His works. He loves us more than we know and thinks to perform His goodness on us.

Also, it is better to dwell in the love of God. Since love permeates the entire being of our Lord. As it is written, for God so loved us, therefore He wants a love relationship with us no matter what we think. Therein grow your relationship with him and experience his limitless, transforming love. Hence delight yourself in the love of God.

The crisis caused by either natural or man-made disaster is the best time to believe in the power of the Lord God our Savior Jesus Christ over the weakness of the crisis. God is sovereign over all. Believe in the promises of God as He is a God that is able to do abundantly above all that we know.

In the time of crisis, believers need to concentrate more on the faithfulness of the Lord instead of our unbelief's and limited means. Crisis calls for prayers, so pray until it becomes your nature and place of communicating with the Lord. Engage in online prayer services as much as possible. Prayers and intercession is a necessity that cannot be overlooked.

For our, God responds to the prayers of the humble and the faithful. Therefore, invest in prayer and pray, study about prayer and pray, memorize prayer verses, and read books about prayers. It is the prayer that makes the difference. Prayer changes life and things in the physical and spiritual realm when we pray according to God’s will. God has commanded us in His Word to ask and seek and knock. And He promised He will answer.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and not in your own might. Learning to wait and trust in the provisions of the Lord is paramount. The key to thriving in the midst of the coronavirus is to believe that God is sovereign. That is when believers can demonstrate their confidence in the Lord. Faith is often revealed in crisis and trials than anything else.

Now is the time to trust in the plan of the Lord for your life, Believe that God has a good plan for you. The plans of the Lord are usually revealed progressively. He says "for I know my plans for you,’ says the LORD. ‘My plans are to prosper you, not to harm you. I have good plans to give you a future filled with hope.” Jeremiah 29:11, and Proverbs 16:9

Since our God is faithful and dependable, He is pleased when we trust him. Then let's live our lives resting on his faithfulness, trusting in him and his character. Also God is trustworthy in performing what He had revealed to us with confidence. Hebrew 11: 1-6

Walk by faith and not by sight as the Bible says. Refuse to exalt the problem as a giant and see yourself as a grasshopper. Have the faith to believe in the impossible.

Accept the will of God even if you don't them, or what it is, no matter what. The will of God always agrees with His plans for your life and the world in general.
