00:00:34 --> 00:00:41 Hello, and welcome to Momo 634, Motivational Moments, just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 In the episode Margin and Balance,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50 I told you that I often choose a word to focus on for the year.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52 This year,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:53 however,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 I think things got a bit reversed,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 and maybe a word was assigned to me.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 It was the word HARD.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 This year has been really hard.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 And each of the very,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:15 very hard things I had to endure were prefaced by two things.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:22 Prayer and an absolute, utter reliance on God's will in the matter.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 I handed over all perceived control because,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:29 after all,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31 I really have none.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 and asked the Lord to do the heavy lifting,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 in my life to do the hard things,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 and in my heart to help me accept his will.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 We can do hard things with God at the helm.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 Philippians 4.13 says,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:57 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03 we find these comforting words in Isaiah 43 too.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:13 And when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21 The flames will not set you ablaze.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:29 2 Corinthians verses 11 and following detail excruciating

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 hardships that Paul endured.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:32 In fact,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37 many of those before us faced hard things and gained the

00:02:37 --> 00:02:37 victory.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41 Read every word of Hebrews 11.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 It even says there are so many more that are not even listed.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 Our meme for today says,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51 when life feels hard,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:56 it feels like you're bombarded or seems like you're discarded.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00 Remember who your guard is.
