What do you do when life is more than you can handle
what do you do when life seems overwhelming
what do you do
when you don't know what to do number one trust in the Lord
when you don't know what to do you say I don't know what to do I don't know what to do in my
marriage I don't know what to do with these kids I don't know what to do with my job I
don't know what to do about my health I don't know what to do about my business
I don't know what to do I'll tell you what you do you trust the Lord when your under attack
it's easy to think I can't go on the lie Satan wants you to believe is it's not worth it
it's not worth it you can't keep doing this his lying voice says you can't keep going
it's too difficult you can't do this that lies is most powerful when you're lonely
and tired when you can barely summon the strength to get up let alone keep going
have you ever been there maybe you're there now don't quit don't buy into the lie that you can't
make it God knows what you're going through and he'll give you the strength to make it if you quit
you'll never receive the reward satan wants you to quit before the harvest don't do it
don't quit you've tried to share your faith at work and all they do is reject you don't quit
you invited your family to church a hundred times they won't come don't give up you've
lived a consistent life at school and all it earned you is being made fun of don't quit
you lost someone or something important don't quit don't become weary in doing good for at the
proper time at God's time there will be a harvest if you don't give up don't quit
we have got to get to this place where we refuse to quit like you're not gonna like this ready
quit quitting quit quitting I'm watching people in this season quit like nobody's business we're
like quitting everything we're quitting jobs we're quitting marriages we're quitting our
relationships we're quitting our faith we're quitting church we're quitting our calling
we're quitting our teams it's like people are quitting like left and right why because they
are not holding on to their destiny come on you might be one step away from a breakthrough
you might be one day away from victory you might be one moment away from your Second Samuel
where all of a sudden you pass the test and now God can promote you into this
new space you see we don't quit because it's hard we quit because we lose hope
you can deal with hard you can't deal with a heart full of depression and despair and
discouragement and defeatism hope and despair can't exist in the same heart because they sit
on the same seat and what happens is we don't see instant results and so we kind of give up
it's it's too much for us we want to follow and see instant fruit we want to trust and see
instant answers we want to obey and see instant breakthrough but I think some of this season God's
just saying will you will you keep following me even if you don't see results it's literally an
invitation I feel like God is extent will you keep following me even if you don't see results
see nobody can stop you from your destiny the only thing between you and where God wants you to go
is your willingness to strengthen yourself in the Lord to look for him for hope instead of the world
for despair don't quit when you feel like quitting don't when you want to give up don't when people
don't give you credit keep going people may try to discourage you from chasing your dream don't quit
they will call you names they will question your motives they will attack your family and they will
spread evil gossip don't quit satan will attack you with all his might satan will use people even
people you thought were God's people satan will use to speak against you don't quit keep going
because you've got something that matters too much to stop now God's rebuilding process in your
life he's going to give you back everything the enemy took away you're going to get it all back
God's got a plan and a purpose for you and with his help you are going to rebuild your life and
you're going to come back stronger than ever before you're gonna make it when critics come
when things get difficult when doubt starts to creep in don't quit we all want to be conquerors
we just don't want to conquer anything we all want to be overcomers we just don't want any obstacles
we all want to be victorious we just don't want to have to face any battles
but this is why II Timothy 2:13 tells us if we endure we will also reign with him do you know
why we don't reign experience the victory of God because we don't endure we just quit too fast many
are convinced that when trials and hardship and opposition come that means Jesus has abandoned you
in the moment of struggle it's easy to buy into lie that Jesus is nowhere to be found that he's
ignoring you he's left you alone but true riches is finding his grace his peace his mercy his
love his joy it's discovering his faithfulness and knowing Jesus is watching over you and you
often find that in the middle of difficulty in this world you will have trouble but take heart
I have overcome the world you serve a God who is bigger than any problem difficulty obstacle or
struggle that you have faced that you are facing or you will face people who come against you need
to realize that they're not just coming against you they're coming against the God who created you
and loves you and stands with you and walks with you and will carry you through to the other side
you're on the winning side
James chapter 1 verse 12 blessed is the man who perseveres under trial because when he stood the
test he will receive the crown of life God has promised those who love him one day I want to
stand beside you in heaven and together receive the crown of life because when difficult times
came we stayed faithful if you're going through a struggle that feels like everything's going wrong
if life is falling apart and you don't know why remember this you can trust him he's been there
he sees you you're not alone stay faithful because we even when people lie about you
Jesus knows the truth and because he's been there and because he sees you because he knows
the truth you don't have to fear God is going to reward your faithfulness listen to me look at me
you are going to make it through this you're going to make it and on the other side you're going to
receive the reward God has promised you I know it feels like you're losing you feel defeated but the
day is coming when you'll be victorious and you will stand and declare the faithfulness of your
God and you'll celebrate the that he brought you through can I just tell some of you just need this
to hear this today you're building a great life you're building a great legacy you are building
a great family right now you're building a great marriage you're building a great business you're
a part of building a great kingdom you're a part of building a great church come on this
is not the season to quit this is the season to strengthen yourself in the Lord and look to him
for hope instead of the world for despair and hear me this is not a one-time event it's a lifestyle
it's a daily choice man it's called endurance perseverance tough-mindedness you never quit
no matter how impossible the odds no matter how tough the opponent how dark the hour no matter
how high the mountain or how difficult the climb don't quit never quit a mountain climber climbs
mountains he doesn't quit halfway because the climb is difficult or because he's tired he goes
to the top are you getting this don't quit life with Jesus is not guaranteed to be trouble free
don't quit the first time there's a problem you'll still get sick that you'll still have
flat tires there'll still be opposition when trouble comes don't quit keep moving forward
forgetting what's behind straining towards what's ahead I press on towards the goal
this is not the time to quit this is not the time to sit down and complain
this is not the time to blame everybody else this is not the time to be offended
at God this is the time for you to look to the Lord for hope in a world full of despair
