Sometimes when people go through something for a long time they tend to lean to the idea that things will always be that way. They get used to being in that situation. But, God is still on the throne and He hasn't given up on you and don't you dare give up on him. It doesn't matter how long you have a problem the power of God is still able to turn it around. He's still the God that it's nothing to hard for him, for with him all things are possible.

There was a woman with an issue of blood for 12 years, but when she heard about Jesus she knew the power of God could turn it around (Mark 5:25-34). There was a woman with a spirit of infirmity for 18 years, but the power of God was still able to turn it around (Luke 13:11-13). There was a man with a condition for 38 years and when Jesus saw him He knew that he had been in that condition for a long time. Did Jesus give up on helping him because he was in that condition for so long? No, the power of God was still able to turn it around (John 5:1-9).

God can turn that thing around that you've been dealing with for so long. He's not only able, but he's also willing. Like when Jesus healed the woman that had the spirit of infirmity for 18 years Jesus said "Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond". God wants that problem turned around. A leper came to Jesus and said "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean". And Jesus response was " I will, be thou clean" and immediately he was cleansed (Mark 1:40-42). It is God's desire to turn your situation around. And no matter how long it's been if you don't give up on God, He will not give up on you.

Amen!

In addition to the glorious Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation always makes it clear that there is an end in sight. Being reminded of that end [saved, being saved, will be saved] is wonderful for those that experience long-suffering.
