Have you ever experienced moments in life where many difficulties are thrown your way . . . one after another . . . after another? And you ask yourself, with a smirk on your face, okay now what?!
Well, this week was just that. My nephew’s health was jeopardized. We trusted God as we waited for unknown answers. I commuted 3 times this past week to San Diego, I worked, and I did ministry. I preached in 2 services on Sunday, in which God moved powerfully. Then, my husband got sick with a 102-degree fever. In the midst of all of this—God’s strength and presence have sustained me. The Lord has given me a joy that surpasses and erases all difficulties.
I am sharing my heart not, so I could have a pat on the back, but to let you know that God is faithful. He is powerful, and so loving. If you are going through a difficult time right now, cry out to God. He will hold you and be with you through it all. You are not alone!
What about you? How do you deal with bad weeks?

How do I deal with bad weeks? In all honesty, I have had a few of those and I can’t quantify them but there are times its more than I can bear.
I usually retract, crumble in a corner, I need quiteness, alone time just to think or meditate. My heart feels heavy at times where I start thinking with my emotions and not rationally. For example, it start s with an arguement with your husband one night, then you go to work and some of your colleagues are difficult, then while going home you get a flat tire and when you get home you get bad news from your family, prostate cancer. Then you realize you have to show up in court again because your tenant owes you rent for 5 months. MORE bad news. It’ one bad week after another. When you seem to get out of one here comes another. Can’t I catch a break! Your so tired at times that when you lay in bed tears come out, you don’t cry because you think I’m the one who has to be strong. You think
If I let fear and despair come in its defeated me. Not!
To much is to much and you just can’t carry that burden any longer, you can’t fix things as you wish, you are just to broken.
That’s in that 5 min of quiteness in my car, in my bed, or in a corner. I say Holy Spirit, I can’t do this anymore. I need help please intercede for me. Please ask Jesus to start changing things, intervening and bring restoration, healing, justice and change because I can’t do it.
Then in a sweet voice I hear scriptures. I ‘ve given you power to do great things, I’m with you always do not fear, ask and you shall receive. I start gaining strength, courage, and boldness. I start declaring what is mine and start fighting against the enemy. Taking authority and speaking the Word of Life. I have to say there has been times where I haven’t had the strength to fight back and say God I need you, your all I got. I can’t fight this and I need you as a father like a child needs his parent. Protected and feel safe. Yes, maybe sounds crazy or to religious for some but I’m human, I hurt, and I crumble.
God knows my weakness and only HE can do the impossible. Not us, not you, not them. You can’t fix or change things, or situations or people. Life still goes on , things will happen out of your control, your choices, someone elses, or maybe just happen.
How ever your week has been God is not dead, He hears your cry, He knows your struggle, He feels your hurt. Just call unto him and HE will be there. Let GO and Let GOD! Jesus is faithful, He will bring help, people to you, Bless you, bring deliverance and health to you. Just like he got you out of trouble before, bless you when you didn’t ask, when he healed you out of that sickness or delivered from that drug addiction, and brought us to Salvation. He can do it again even the simplest things. Like Pastor Myrna said ;Christ wants to be involved in everything little detail and can bless you. Those words I’ll never forget and you shouldn’t either.
