As we struggle through life God can comfort us. We must put our trust in the Lord and lean to his understanding. As we mature in our Christian walk he will guide and comfort us and we will know the Salvation of the Lord working through us.
How do we stay mentally and spiritually focused? Having a healthy spiritual relationship with God, our self and our fellow Christians can be a life saver when it come to harsh times and the trials of life creep up on us.
As Christians we are to be separate from The World. It doesn't mean we don't go to work or go out and win souls for God. What it does mean is we shouldn't be dancing with the Devil and partaking of the sinful nature of the bad things that can rob us of our salvation and our home in Heaven.
We need to always be careful what we say. One word can cut to the bone and what we say today could be disastrous down the road. We should always have a good confession and be quick to hold out tounge.
If the Lord came today would you be ready? We don't know when the Lord will return but it is said there will be signs. With all the things going on today we can know that it could be soon. If your not sure you would make Heaven your home then NOW is the time to repent and ask the Lord in your heart. Dont be left behind when the Lord comes to take the Church and his believers from this world.

1 John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
It is interpretative we keep our self unspotted from the things of the World. That doesn't mean we are not supposed to enjoy life and do things but it does mean we need to watch our steps and don't get rapped up in something that could cost out place in heaven.
The only real way to quench your spiritual thirst is getting in the Word of God. Romans 10:17 says Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Dont get dry and thirsty. Stay fired up for the Lord and keep that Spiritual thirst full and be revived every day.
Do you have peace? As we travel through life having peace can be of great benefit to help through hard and tragic times. Turn to the Lord and he can give you the peace of all understanding through the good times and through the bad times.
Do you often find you mind wondering? Do you sometimes do stupid things that just wasn't right or a rash decision? Well, we are human but we have to constantly keep our selves in check or we might just be asking our self "What were we thinking"!!
Sometimes as walk the path our patience can be in short supply. Patience is one of those traits that has to be practiced daily. If we run out of patience we usually start making rash decisions that lead to situation we just dont need to be, Remember, patience is a virtue and must be part of our Christian walk.
When we go through something we dont have to bear it alone. Jesus is always with us and on the Cross he took on our infirmities and He feels what we fell. Dont go through a situation or trial alone. Rely on Jesus to help you get through it as he is always with us.
Having the Love of God in our hearts will bring about true Love for our fellow man. By studying Gods Word and abiding in Him, Gods Love will manifest its self to us and we can then do all things in Christ who strengthen us.
No matter what we go through we can be sure that we go through it with Jesus. How do we do that? We pray in every situation and keep that direct line open to God through prayer and studying his word.
Are you out of Gods will? Are you having trouble finding your path in following Christ. You can Abide in the Lords will. Put your trust in his word and you can stay faithful to the Lord and abide in Him.
Are you in the Will of God? If you cant answer this then most likely you are not in his will. We can know what the will of God is by getting in the Word and asking for his help and guidance. Dont let the Devil rob you of doing Gods will. Get involved and study the Word and Gods will can be revealed to you and the direction you need to go will become clear.
Now is not the time to give up. With the Devil doing everything he can to kill, steal and Destroy, we can hold to the Word of God and KEEP FIGHTING. The Lord will be there to guide us through the trials of life.
