Everyone has a “giant” in their life or a storm they face. Sadly, many allow that giant to defeat them on a daily basis. 
I have a GOD who is BIGGER than any giant in my life or your life for that matter. He can perform miracles if we only allow Him.

I may be struggling with difficulties because of recent events. There are many days that it is a chore to push forward to even get out of bed.
Yes, I am willing to admit that I have had several days that I feel defeated because there are many things that I just cannot do right now. I even have my moments that all I can do is cry.

What does one do when their trials seem to be more than enough? You lean on the Everlasting Arms of the Heavenly Father. He will carry you through. 
Deuteronomy 33:27
“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:”

I believe without a shadow of a doubt that GOD WILL perform the miracle that only He can do. God will make this trial a blessing.

Philippians 1:6
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

*In case you’re wondering… Yes, I know there are a lot of grammatical errors. I wanted you to know how my brain was processing things. It will take quite a while before I actually begin thinking in correct grammar. Not only am I dealing with what happened and the lasting effects, but also my brain is quite mixed up at present and it’s difficult to actually speak what I’m thinking. Most of the time it comes out jumbled, backwards, or not even what I was thinking. It is very frustrating at times.
