DIG DEEP AND FIGHT IT THROUGH
Are You Sick, Facing Difficult Times, or Disappointed in Life?
John 14:27, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Hebrews 11
Jesus Offers You Peace
John 14:27:
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
In this verse, Jesus offers a type of peace that the world cannot give. The world’s peace is temporary, conditional, and superficial. But the peace of Jesus is enduring, eternal, and grounded in His love and promises.
When life’s challenges seem overwhelming—whether it’s sickness, disappointment, or difficult times—Jesus reminds us:
There may be reasons to be troubled, but there is a greater reason not to be.
His peace gives you the strength to endure and the courage to keep moving forward.
The Heroes of Faith Faced Challenges Too
When you feel discouraged, remember the heroes of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11. Their lives were marked by trials, but they didn’t stop trusting God:
Abraham waited decades for God’s promise of a child.
Joseph endured betrayal, false accusations, and imprisonment before becoming a ruler in Egypt.
Job lost everything—his health, wealth, and family—but his faith in God never wavered.
Moses faced rejection and challenges while leading the Israelites out of Egypt.
What Do These Heroes Teach Us?
Before reaching a new level of life, they endured pain and trouble.
Their faith grew stronger because they refused to give up, even when things seemed hopeless.
What Should You Do When Facing Difficult Times?
When discouragement, sickness, or disappointment comes, don’t stop. Instead, dig deep and fight it through with the following strategies:
Maximize Your Forward Motion
Don’t allow your situation to paralyze you. Keep moving closer to God.
To maximize means to speed up. This means:
Pray the more.
Fast the more.
Meditate on God’s Word the more.
Worship the more.
Remember God’s Promises
2 Corinthians 4:16-18:
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”God is using your current challenges to prepare you for something greater.
Draw Closer to God
- When you feel overwhelmed, let that drive you to God’s presence. Psalm 34:18:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
- When you feel overwhelmed, let that drive you to God’s presence. Psalm 34:18:
Focus on What You Can Control
Trust God with what you cannot control, but take steps to act on what you can:
Take care of your health.
Speak positive words of faith.
Serve others even in your pain.
Refuse to Let Fear Take Over
Fear is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons. Replace fear with faith.
Isaiah 41:10:
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
A Prayer for Strength in Difficult Times
“Lord Jesus, thank You for the peace You have given me—a peace that surpasses all understanding. In the face of sickness, disappointment, and challenges, I choose to trust in Your promises. Help me to dig deep and fight through discouragement, knowing that You are working all things for my good. Renew my strength daily and give me the courage to pray more, worship more, and draw closer to You. Let Your peace guard my heart and mind. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Final Encouragement
When life feels overwhelming:
Remember Jesus’ Peace: He offers you a peace that the world cannot take away.
Draw Inspiration From the Heroes of Faith: Their challenges led to their greatest victories.
Maximize Your Forward Motion: Keep moving closer to God through prayer, fasting, and worship.
The Lord has not promised that you won’t face trials, but He has promised to be with you through them.
Declaration
“I will not stop. I will dig deep and fight through. My challenges are not permanent; they are preparing me for a new level in life. Thank You, Jesus, for Your peace and strength.”
