Jesus Christ Is In Me And With Me

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in which I whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so will I be saved from my enemies.
Psalm 18: 2-3 (NIV)
How is it, I often asked, that some people deal with adversity so much more successfully than do others? They seem to be at peace with themselves and others. One such person is Darnell Rex, a co-worker and a man of God as he is a pastor of a church in the Oklahoma City area. In my observation and discussions with pastor-co-worker Rex, I believe a great deal of his ability to deal with adversity has to do with preparation. This pastor appears to have learned how to gather strength in advance. He, like others I have observed, seem ready for crises when they come.
Of those I have observed over time, here is what I have found helpful in one’s daily Christian walk when dealing with adversity. During those beautiful, sunny days, seek to build up your spirit to be prepared and ready when the storms of life beat down upon you—Prayer is the key. Before you argue that you do not have the time, I would argue you in fact do! Prayers do not have to be long, wordy statements to God!
Each morning before you get out of bed, let the first words you say be, “Jesus Christ is in me and with me.” Just before you prepare to go to lunch, stop whatever you are doing, wherever you are, close you eyes for a brief moment and say, “Jesus Christ is in me and with me.” At any point of the day when your energies, patience or good nature is depleted say, “Jesus Christ is in me and with me.”
Soon you will find that every unconscious, automatic thought even during a difficult moment will bring you the great fact that, “Jesus Christ is in you and with you.” I am willing to bet that sooner or later you will come to believe and know that you are more and more victorious within your situation than a victim of it.
Prayer: JESUS CHRIST IS IN ME AND WITH ME!

Thank you for this. Sometimes we forget the Jesus Christ is in me, and with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My pain feels quite massive right now, but as I repeated Jesus Christ is in me and with me, tears began to fall as I understand the magnitude of what I'm saying and prepare myself to embrace His Love, His Glory and and His Power. I was feeling bad and a voice said, log in to faith writers, and I did and low and behold went right to your passages and they have the power to heal and may God continue to Bless you and continue to use you, Thank you, God reaches so far, I'm in California recieving blessings from on High from where I don't know, but it feels closer than I can describe...Thank you and God Bless you.
