By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba
LET SINGLE PARENTS TRUST IN GOD
Jeremiah 49:11
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Isaiah 26:3-4
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN SINGLE PARENTS MIGHT FIND THEMSELVES LONELY, REJECTED AND FORSAKEN BY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AS THE PSALMIST SAYS.
Psalm 102:4-7
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. 5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. 6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. 7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
Psalm 38:10-11
Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Psalm 41:9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Psalm 27:10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
BY GOD’S GRACE REFUSE TO ALLOW THE DEVIL STEAL YOUR JOY! TURN TO GOD.
Psalm 42:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Philippians 4:4-7
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Worry is blind, and cannot discern the future; but Jesus sees the end from the beginning. In every difficulty He has His way prepared to bring relief. Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service and honor of God supreme will find perplexities vanish, and a plain path before their feet.... – {ML 181.2}
NEVER BE LONELY AGAIN‼️ FIND A FRIEND AND A HELPER IN JESUS, TELL HIM ALL YOUR TROUBLES AND SORROWS
Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Proverbs 18:24
“A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Hebrews 13:5-6 RSV
“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never fail you nor forsake you.” Hence we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?”
John 14:25
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
