52 Promises from God's Word

 

God Promised…. I trust Him

Sometimes there are no words that can help heal the ache or bring comfort.

Sometimes the pain and confusion of the situation leave us not knowing how to feel.

Sometimes the bewilderment consumes us, as we think a million times or more… “I just don’t know….”

Sometimes there is nothing you can do but make it hour by hour… working your way up to day by day.

Sometimes “time” is the only thing that will help.

Sometimes…. Nothing on earth brings comfort.

 

 

 

 

When our hearts are heavy and the tears seem never ending, we don’t always have the clarity to search the scriptures for God’s promises.  Here are some for you.  May they bring you comfort in your time of need.

    When we begin to write out God’s promises our fears begin to disappear. It becomes easier to praise Him no matter the pain. counting our blessings is a precious jewel.

      This is so true… and even when you can’t muster up the strength to even think of your specific blessings, dwelling on promises that absolutely cannot and will not be broken is a way to gain strength and an instant reminder of God’s blessings.

      YOU – are a blessing – thank you!

    I love this scripture- since I was adopted, I can related to the idea of being an orphan. And that God provided parents/family for me AND adopted me into His Forever Family. I have His promise- He will never leave me- He will come for me- because He is my Everlasting Father- and that’s what real Fathers do!
    New Living Translation
    No, I will not abandon you as orphans–I will come to you.

    Jeremiah 29: 11-12 My favorite promise is not a promise for here, but a promise for a Kingdom without pain, disappointment or human frailty. And I have a song that goes with it too, I listen to this song a lot when I need to remind myself that there is a place for me.
    My great-grandparents were murdered by a family member, and subsequently our family split in two, both sides not talking for the rest of their lives. I have had two brother in laws commit suicide. Lost my mom to lung cancer and my dad to lung cancer, due to smoking. I know grief and I know that sometimes the heart does not settle from violence that steals people so precious to you. This is not a world that I can reconcile my heart pain, so I find my peace in Christ and the promise of heaven, and it is a peace that surpasses my pain, it is a peace that undergirds my loss and gives me the strength to wait in joy for a heavenly future!
    Jeremiah 29:11
    For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV)
    There Is A Place For Us!

    Thank you @Barb – I truly appreciate you placing it on your site! I pray it encourages all those who see it.

    @cindy – thank you for sharing! I know so many of us have such a hard time wrapping our hearts around this but God is our REAL Father and that IS what Fathers do! He will NOT leave us! Such a sweet promise!

    @Kim – you continue to bless my heart time and time again!! I love this – “sometimes the heart does not settle from violence that steals people so precious to you. This is not a world that I can reconcile my heart pain, so I find my peace in Christ and the promise of heaven” and thank you for it! sometimes so many of us want our heart free of pain. Just yesterday I told my son that “all i want is for life to be easy sometimes”… the promise of Heaven – will be easy then.

    thanks yall!!

    please feel free to leave a link of any related article in the comment section! I love that it will easily allow someone to be encouraged even more!

    I would like to share two songs concerning God’s promises and His faithfulness to fulfill them. The first is a song that was released as a music video through JCMix ministries back in 2009. The song is titled “Promise.” It deals with the fact that God’s promises to us cannot be destroyed by anything the enemy, or just life itself, brings as a distraction or to just destroy. His promise never dies..

    The second is a song that has not been released … it hasn’t been finished actually. But it was written in the depths of despair as I watched my oldest daughter, then 11/2 go septic and crash at Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room in Lake Charles, LA. For the 6 months leading up to her demise, God had been dealing with my concerning my responsibility … my end of the agreement concerning His faithfulness. We had some issues previously. In short, my daughter was revived and is now in excellent health, but we went through 7 heart wrenching years when all we had to hold on to at times was God’s promise to me concerning that little girl. Although the song is not complete, I think it is well enough to fit here … I promise that when it is done, I’ll let you know. It is called ‘Bring In Peace.”

    I speak this verse personally over myself and my children so the devil knows it too!

    Isaiah 65:23 – Complete Jewish Bible
    “I will not toil in vain or raise children to be destroyed, for I am the seed blessed by ADONAI; and my offspring with me”.

    @thehaz – Thanks Pastor! I love when others share their links here! Just another way to spread joy to those who stop by! it is great pain on earth watching your child helplessly go though such issues. Thank you for the encouragement you’ve left!

    @angie – i hope you’ll print it out and use it – often. i have it in my bible and journal

    @colleen thank you for that!! I was just reading where Jesus said “bring them to me” talking about children. and was reminded that daily – i will keep bringing them to the One who can make a difference! i’ve done it since i found out i was pregnant with them and will do so till my last breath.

    Thanks guys – for encouraging others and JOYning in on the conversation!

    I picked out this and I am fine: That we can put all of our cares on Him because HE cares – 1 Peter 5:7. God bless you for taking the time to write this

    My favorite promise is simple… No matter what I do, I can NEVER be plucked from His hands!

    John 10:28 & 29 “and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.…”

    I’ve always been amazed that God loves a little turd like me!

    I also have a post about God’s promises. This week in VBS the kids are learning that “with God all things are possible.” I believe that is the hinge of all the other promises! Thank you for posting.

    Recently I’ve been holding on to the promise that He has a plan that is for the good of all and that once He starts working in us, He doesn’t walk away without completing it.

    Thank you for the list.

    Marie,
    I love this! You need to make this into a printable!! It would be fantastic! The wonderful thing about His promises (besides the fact that they are life giving, life redeeming, and life saving?) is that He will never fall short of them as us humans do when we promise!
    Thank you for this encouraging post!
    Blessings and smiles,
    Lori

    As part of my hospital bag for birth I always prepare scripture cards to focus on. I’ll be coming back to this post to gather some great words to help me through my next labor in a few weeks. Thank you!
