Dealing with Dark Moments

The challenges of life come to the saved and the unsaved, the prepared and the unprepared. What do you do when the dark moments of life is upon you?

Increase Your Prayer Life

The more you are able to pray, the more strength you possess. At dark moments of life, prayer may not look palatable and a nice thing that your flesh may want. Yet it is the sure way towards strengthening yourself. When Jesus was confronted with the darkest moment of his life, he went to pray so that he could receive strength to face the hour that came upon him.

Matthew 26:38-41

Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

He even asked his disciples to pray along with him, but they were too sleepy to agree with him in prayer.

Remember Past Testimonies

Friends, if God has helped you before, healed you, delivered you, protected you then I want you to know that the same God is capable of doing it again.  When you forget the past faithfulness of God, the dark moments of life can hit you hard. Remember that the God who did it in the past can still do it again.

You aren’t Alone

God never promised to keep the fire away. He also never promised to keep the water away. But he promised to be with us whenever the water and the fires have crept on us. Know that the Lord is with you. What are facing right now? Affliction? Financial issues? The loss of your job caused by this virus? Are your children wayward and this has caused you great concern? Know that the Lord is with you. And do not lose hope. No matter how troublesome the waves get, if Jesus is in your boat then you are save.

Don’t Get into Depression

When you are depressed, you are lacking in joy. And joy is the source of strength. Don’t lose your joy because in the dark moments of life, the joy of the Lord is your strength. Depression takes away strength. Joy brings strength.

Nehemiah 8:10

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Be Encouraged

In dark moments, the Bible tells us the affliction is light.

2 Corinthians 4:17

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

No matter what you are going through, God says, hey, son or daughter, what you are going through is a light affliction. One day, you are going to wake up and discover that it is over. And when this is over, we are going to have a better you. This won’t break you. It is going to make you. I pray that the Lord will strengthen you in the name of Jesus.

Reflection

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Holy Father, I pray that you strengthen me in this dark moment in the name of Jesus.

Heavenly Father, I ask you for mercy in any area that I have taken my focus off you and placed it on this situation in the name of Jesus.

Glorious Father, I pray for the right attitude through this dark moment in the name of Jesus.

Holy Father, help me to become better after this moment in the name of Jesus.
