Words Of Encouragement

Hi,

My name is Joseph.

And today I want to encourage you,

If you're going through a challenging time,

If you're feeling lonely,

If you're dealing with some kind of darkness that you can't seem to get around it.

If you're basically feeling down and everything seems to be going south for you.

Well,

I want you to know this,

That you're not alone and that you're not forgotten.

Things may seem really bad,

Things may seem like,

Oh,

Is this ever going to end?

I promise you it's going to end.

This too shall pass.

And so remember that.

That everybody is dealing with something.

You're not the only person dealing with something.

In fact,

I am dealing with my own challenges,

But I want to forget about my challenges for a moment and speak to you.

That whatever thing that you're going through,

That thing will pass.

It'll go away.

So don't beat yourself down.

Don't think that,

Oh,

Yeah,

This thing is not going to go away.

Things happen.

I know you turn on the radio or the TV,

You're hearing all kinds of things in the news.

Bad things going on.

But I want to encourage you that it will be well.

I want to encourage you that everything will be well.

It doesn't matter how long it takes.

Now,

Don't forget this.

Your life has a purpose.

God has a plan for your life.

You're not here by accident or by some random chance that you're here.

This season of your life has a purpose,

Although we may not understand it.

As we go through it,

Because it's so painful,

It's so challenging,

And we don't know what to do with it.

But I want to encourage you,

Hang on.

Don't give up yet.

You may be dealing with a sickness that you feel like it's never going to go away.

It's painful.

You're in a excruciating pain.

Whatever it is that you're in,

You're not alone.

Remember,

God is with you.

Everything will be all right.

Everything will be all right.

Don't give up.

Continue to hold on to your faith.

Remember,

God is a friend.

Don't sit trying to worry too much about you.

Apply it now.

Talk to your Father in heaven.

Talk to God.

Open your mouth and talk to Him.

He made you.

He obviously cares for you.

Now,

You may think that this is,

You know,

If you can't,

Why am I going through all of this?

Remember,

I said there is a purpose.

Regardless of how painful or how difficult it is to understand this season,

There is a purpose for that.

Remember that.

Talk to your Father in heaven.

Pray.

Say whatever you want to say to Him.

He's listening.

He's close by.

Don't let anything keep you away from talking to Him.

Maybe you haven't talked to Him in a long time.

This is a good time to check in.

Be encouraged.

Know that things will get better.

This is not the end.

This is not the end of your life.

So don't try to take any permanent decisions to a temporal problem that you experience in.

Let God handle it.

Talk to Him in prayer.

Talk to Him.

You're not alone.

We're all going through this together.

After you've done all that,

I want you to go ahead.

Like I am encouraging you right now,

Pick up a phone and call somebody else and encourage them.

Let them know that this will get better,

That things will improve.

Call somebody.

Encourage them.

You never know what one word from your mouth would do,

The impact.

So I encourage you to call somebody.

Speak words of life to them,

Words of hope.

If they need something,

Help them out.

This is how we are going to deal with the challenges that we are going through right now.

You cannot do it on your own.

Now,

Can I pray with you?

Father,

I thank you for my brothers and sisters who are listening to this.

Wherever they are in their life right now,

You know it.

You know all the challenges that they are dealing with,

Things that they are going through,

The heartache,

The pain,

The disappointment,

All kinds of things.

But Father,

You know all of that.

And so I pray that Father,

Wherever they are,

Lord,

That you meet them,

That you comfort them,

That you encourage them,

That you let them know that you haven't forgotten about them,

That you still love them,

That you care for them.

If you didn't,

Father,

They wouldn't be alive.

I also pray,

Father,

That we will not just sit there feeling sorry for ourselves,

But we will use this encouragement to encourage others.

Now,

Let them know that they are also not forgotten,

That you care about them,

That Father will be instruments of peace,

Instruments of encouragement to others.

Help us,

Lord,

Today.

Let us do good and let us encourage others.

We thank you and we bless you.

In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen.

If this encouragement has been a blessing to you,

I encourage you to share it with friends and families and loved ones.

Let us spread the message of hope.

Let us do everything we can to support others.

God bless you.
