Help for the Hurting: Surviving the Storms of Life

You can’t go forward looking in the rearview mirror. You can’t experience peace in the present if you constantly worry about the future. The devil has a purpose in the storms. He wants to discourage you. He wants you to yield to fear and fall apart. He wants you to lose the strength to press forward because you keep condemning yourself for past mistakes. He wants you to throw your hands up in despair or sit down and quit. He wants to turn up the pressure until you say “I can’t take anymore.” But remember: the devil is a liar! You have to make it. God has a purpose for your life. Others are depending on you. You have come too far to give up now.
