Believing God’s Promises Even When It’s Hard

I appreciate your shares! xox

Bible verses about tough times are encouraging; however, Believing God’s Promises Even When It’s Hard can be challenging. I have created a study to help you retrain your mind to think in ways that will bring you positive emotions and, therefore, positive actions based on God’s Word.

TRUSTING GOD IN DIFFICULT TIME

Life rarely goes the way we plan and hope for.   Financial stability can be shaken, diagnosis for diseases are given, death of those we love happens, children have problems we can not solve for them and so on goes the list of what we can not control. 

Sometimes these challenging circumstances may cause us to doubt God’s good purpose for everything he ordains.

We need to learn how to apply God’s Word to our lives, so we get results in our actions. I have created a bible study using bible verses about tough times to help you do just that!

WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

In the midst of trials and suffering, God calls out for us to come to himself filling our minds with his Word to direct our thoughts and emotions and the actions we take.

However, we can get so wrapped up in the things of this world we forget our focus should be on applying the Word to our minds. 

We are humans, and it takes deliberate action on our part to learn and apply the scriptures to our daily walk. This free printable bible study will help you train your mind to apply the Word in all your circumstances.

HOW DO YOU KEEP FAITH IN HARD TIMES

You need to learn how to stop reacting to a situation, our flesh reaction can only cause more problems. We must lear to apply God’s principles to our lives by knowing His Word.

This free bible study workbook will help you learn how to react through the filter of the Word instead of the flesh.

HOW TO APPLY GOD’S WORD USING BIBLE VERSES ABOUT TOUGH TIMES

I have created a bible study system that will help you keep faith in hard times. In the study, Believing God’s Promises Even When It’s Hard you will learn the following to train your mind to listen to the Spirit and not your own flesh.

• You will become aware of your thinking and notice how it is causing you to feel and react.
• Then we will do an exercise to help you not ignore thoughts and feelings but allow them to happen, which will increase your awareness of them instead of stuffing them.
• Next, through the exercises, you will become aware of your feelings and thoughts. Once you are aware of them, it becomes much easier to notice the thought and the feeling before we react,  which helps us make a deliberate choice in our reactions.
• You will learn to feel the emotions, then giving yourself a choice to stop reacting to them. 
• You will learn the best way to stop reacting is to understand and apply God’s principles to our lives by knowing His Word.
  

You will start directing your mind, telling it what the Word of God says and how your mind should use that to think. 

THIS BIBLE STUDY METHOD WORKS

You will receive everything you need to learn how to start your own mind shift for believing God’s promises, no matter what hard things are going on in your life.

Each day you will go through the exercises for your own thought work, write God’s word, and then apply the scripture to your own thought work for that day. Each day remember you are building on training your mind to know and apply God’s Word to your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
