DESPERATE TIMES 3 | GOD SAYS YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM (2)
1. Desperate Times
a) When everything seems to be falling in around us, when the walls seem to be closing in on us, when nothing in our world or in this world seems to hold any hope, when everything looks completely hopeless, just remember that God is not ever caught by surprise. He will save those who are His from calamity (Hebrews 7:25). He isn’t ever going to abandon us, forsake us, or leave us. If you are not one of His then you do not have such hope nor can you claim any of His mighty promises.
b) We pray right now that you seek Him because anyone who seeks Him He has said He can be found.
Isaiah 55:6
“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”
2 Corinthians 6:2
“For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
c) Tomorrow may be too late but it not too late right now to put your complete trust in Him, to depend on Him, to call on Him. This is our prayer for you.
2. God Says You Can Depend On Him
a) God wants us to depend on Him and not rely on ourselves. God is our Father and we are His children. Children can not make it in this world without their parents. How much more so can we not make it without the help of our Heavenly Father? If we try to solve our problems by our self then we can really do nothing to ultimately solve them. God is actually more glorified in our weakness because by His strength He is able to display His might. He stands ever ready, able, and willing to help us when we really need it but we must first acknowledge of our need for His help. We truly find freedom from worry when we learn to depend upon God.
Matthew 6:25-27

Matthew 6:25-27
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
Matthew 6:30:31
“If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?”
Romans 4:20-21
“Yet he [Abraham] did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.”
Philippians 4:19
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
