Regardless how bad we think we have it, how awful and uncontrollable our circumstances may seem, regardless of how distraught we feel inside, there is always an answer.I've often heard the saying "No matter how bad you have it, someone out there has it worse". More importantly we need to remember the God we serve who has it all under control, and a precious path for each and every one of us that is individually specific for you, and you alone.
For every low we speak, God has a response whispering back through His word. Grasp what He has to share for you, and realize there is NO situation out of HIS control! Open your ears to His voice, and not your own...

Keep your mind focused on God's word, not the words of others, or even self. You and all those around you will fail, stumble, and let others down... but HE will not. We serve a mighty God who will not fail us, stumble in His promises, or let us down despite how we and the world around us may view our circumstance.
So which voice will you listen to... Yours?... Theirs?... or His?
