This life is designed intentionally to get you to recognize you can not do it yourself, and you need God.
The sooner you come to that ralization and start to work with Him rather than ignore Him or work agaisnt Him, the better off you will be…short term and long term.

You have free will. You have the choice…. but your choice has consequences …both for you and those around you.

Choose wisely my frineds, while you still have the option.

Supportive scriptures

Life is difficult

 “We are all human beings. Our life is short and full of trouble” Job 14:1

We are here on earth temporarily, we are just passing through

“For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers;
Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope.”1 Chronicles 29:15

“Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul” 1 Peter 2:11

Earthly tribulations are temporary and they help us develop spiritually, which serves a higher purpose

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

The storms are inevitable, they come to the rightious and the unrightious. But the righious will survive having built a foundaiton on solid rock..

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:  and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27

God / Jesus does not promise to keep you out of the storms, but He does promise to help you weather them

“I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world”.
John 16:33

God gives you a choice, and the choice has consequences…for you and those close to you.

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them” Deuteronomy 30:19-20

You have a limited time to make your choice.

“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” Proverbs 27:1
