don`t get rid of it. face the trial.

things happen because of the reaction that you have of it. when god tests us, it is actually GOOD for us. it builds our character and shows us what we know and what we don't know. we won't know what we know UNLESS we are tested. one of the most important things that define us is how we behave during tests. in times of testing, we don't see stability in the world, but a bunch of uncontrolled emotions. stability should be attracting to us. who models stability for you? do you model stability for someone. there is a better life for you. you need to have the courageous to pray to the lord. hiding from something won't make it go away. pray to the lord to test your heart. that's how you will learn and thats how you will grow. some of you who are going through a difficult time in your life are learning. the more stable you become, the more the lord can trust you. faith is not only for the good times but for the difficult times. praise is not only supposed to be done through blessings, but through the desert. everybody wants to have the promises, but are you willing to put in the work? we have faith to control our circumstances through the way react to them. it is time for us to make a decision, is it time to grow up in the body of christ? I will be the way the lord wants me to be and act the way he wants me to act.

DEUTERONOMY 8:2. ² Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. ³ He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.


know the importance of your MOUTH while you are in the wilderness. 
study this. and know that what is in your heart comes out through your mouth. 


you will need to pass tests while you are in the wilderness.
