My old pastor said this all the time~ "Life is a cinch by the inch but hard by the yard." While I was in Colorado last week I met a bunch of great ladies. They were uniquely different as they unfolded their testimonies and life stories. You know we all have stories. We have victories and losses. Each lady has had her fair share of troubles and trials.
My life is no different. But as a child of God even the bad days have become sweeter with God holding my hand. Not only that but God has a plan for my life and yours too. He takes the bad things and uses them for my good. Wow~ I can even rest in knowing the hard days will make me stronger. He gives us His power to make it one day at a time. He knew from the beginning of time the valleys you would walk through. He can be trusted ~ why?
Because this is how He feels about YOU!
Psalm 139:14-18
King James Version (KJV)
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Still worried?
Jeremiah 29:11
King James Version (KJV)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
No matter what you are facing today remember that you can trust God ~ he will never leave you or forsake you. Just by understanding how God has felt about me from the beginning of time gives me great strength.
Jeremiah 29:13-14
King James Version (KJV)
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
Life is a cinch by the inch when we are trusting God.14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
Ephesians 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
