In 1 Samuel we read that when Samuel grew old and was no longer able to serve as a judge God allowed Samuel to listen to the voice of the people and appoint a king to rule over them. After Samuel anointed Saul he told him that the Spirit of God would came upon him and he would receive the gift of prophecy. “When they came to there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them” (1 Samuel 10:10).

The Holy Spirit is one in being with the Father and the Son as the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is equal to God in all ways; the Holy Spirit is God. There are numerous references to the Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. The Holy Spirit has been at work with the Father and the Son since the beginning of time to bring about the plan for humankind’s salvation. During creation the Holy Spirit is referred to as the wind of God.

Worry, not to worry. When you in the midst of it, it is not like turning off a switch of the light. There are tears and a feeling from your whole body at times that feels like rocks are upon your chest. So what do you do about it? Pray. I know that sounds like what, how is that going to help. But force yourself if you have to in the beginning. For me to help me begin to pray I put on my favorite christian worship playlist. From there I can not, not begin to sing. I allow the words to help me say how my heart fills, and remind myself by proclaiming who God is and what he says about me. Right now I am listing to "Faithful Still" by KingsPorch. One of my favorite lines is "You have carried me through deeper waters, walked beside me through the fire, Faithful Still. You have closed the mouths of bigger lions, conquered even greater giants, Gone before me and you always will."

I know at times the Goliath you are facing seems so big and seems so powerful, but it isn't. It is the size of a mouse, small and why because God is BIG! God has final say over everything! Does that mean life will be perfect, no, and we know that because SIN entered this world. But we have a Father that loves us so much and he has proven that to us over and over again, even allowing his son Jesus Christ to go through what he did so that death can be conquered, and the gates of Heaven can be opened. He just wanted us back home so bad that he gave up his own son because we matter that much to him. He loves us so much, allow him to comfort you. Tell him, "Comfort me, I am hurting so deeply, and it hurts so much. Please comfort me hold me, hide me oh God. Bring me peace and comfort. Guide me through these trenches. I trust in YOU!" I promise he will.
