TRYING HARD TO STAND

Scripture:  Ephesians 6:13 “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

    “I’m trying hard to stand oh Lord, in these troubled times we live. Help me, precious Lord, in each trial, more grace please give. Let me stand for you, dear Lord! Give me the strength to fight on! For I am assured of this one thing, I will never fight alone!  Lord, let me hold fast, I’m trying hard to stand! When I stumble along the way, hold my trembling hand!  Lift me up when the struggles, bring me to my knees!  Help me to remain faithful, Oh Lord, hear me please!  I am so weak, dear Lord, my strength is almost gone.  Fill me with Thy power, make your presence known! In the midst of the storms and trials that may come my way.  Lord, help me to keep on trusting and to fight on another day!  When the battles over, and the victory cheer we’ll shout! In Thy presence forever, we shall live without a doubt! But until that day comes, Lord help me never lay down the Sword!  Daily fighting on, pressing onward to my
reward!”
    Most people don’t seem to realize the battle that we are in as believers! It’s a daily battle to stand and fight for what’s right!  It’s a constant fight for the believer to be able to take a stand for their faith! So many seem to have forgotten what we’re fighting for!  We can’t lay the armour down and quit!  We must put on the whole armour and fight against the wrong and stand for the right!  
     Friend, we are living in troublesome times and we’re not going to be able to stand without Him giving us strength. If we don’t stand, then we’re going to fall!  If we fall, we render ourselves useless to the work of the Lord.  Don’t let the enemy defeat you, because you are not willing to try!  Get up! Suit up! Stand up!  And get the job done for the glory of God!
