when the going gets tough, 13 reasons for the tough to get going…
1. Because God is with you always
2. God counts your tears
3. God holds your tears in a bottle
4. All things turn for good for them who love God
5. faith is the SUBSTANCE, of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen
6. with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible
7. work… to enter His rest
8. seek out the feeling of God with you, so that you can smile and give thanks in the midst of the storm
9. remember that ultimately, NOTHING can stop God’s promises from coming to pass
10. write down the times God has helped you before, and look back over this book of rememberance when you feel down
11. Go lie down on your bed and just talk to God.. honestly about what’s happening, this is not the same as complaining
12. know that if God be for you, nobody can be against you
13. Come to Me (Jesus) all you who are weary and heavy laden , for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls, take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for my burden is easy, and my yoke is light.

I have a moth phobia and an aversion to sewing that I think come from watching 'The Silence of the Lambs' at an impressionable age.

Very nice post and very true. Number 1 and 12 is something I always try to remember.

I agree! #10 is a great idea.
Maribeth:)
It certainly is true when you are a christian.
Isn’t it funny about #11? Sometimes it takes us so long to actually go to the Lord and cast our cares upon him.
Great Thursday 13! (and Thank You for stopping by my blog so I could meet you)
Yep, most of the time when you open your mind and heart, it’ll work out.
Very nice, very true 13.
Great TT list!! Thanks for sharing those thoughts.
This is a wonderful list! So many of these verses share Scriptural principles.
Thanks for visiting my place!
I follow a different religion, but I liked your list anyway! In a way a lot of it is universal truth. Whatever name one uses for “the divine” or highest power, it makes sense!
Thanks for visiting my Olympics TT. Did you watch the beautiful opening show? Wow…!
First, I have to say that I love your name!! HAHA
Second, I love your 13. They’re totally awesome and I couldn’t agree more. Thanks!!
Great list! It made me smile.
