On My Way Down I Looked Up and (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609572037)

My prayer for those who are reading this book is that the spirit of change will take control of your total being, and drive you from Lodebar to grace. One of the saddest parts about the unexpected challenges that life brings is that, people around you do not always understand what you are suffering or why. This kind of misunderstanding validates why Job maintained his integrity; in his challenges, he said: "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him" (Job13:15). Job did what some of us do in suffering; we get the source of our affliction twisted. We blame God for what is wrong, not realizing that what is meant for evil, God meant for our good. We need to learn how to trust God when everything around us is falling apart. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). We must activate this truth during our time of despair. We must trust God even when we cannot trace Him. When everything is pointing in the opposite direction, we need to have our faith in God. No matter what you feel like in your downward state, God is in control. He "works all things after the council of His own will" (Ephesians 1:11). "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalms 30:5). Don't give up or give in to the tactics of the enemy. Joyce Carelock's mission is to bring hope and healing to the wounded through biblical teachings, retreats, seminars and conferences.
