When We Face Difficult Times
He will help us through it.
God never promises we wouldn't have difficult times in this life. What He promises is to be with us always, even until the end of the age. A lot of times, it's during the difficulties we develop more faith and trust in Jesus than what we would have if we encountered no problems at all. Nobody likes going through heartbreaking issues. Walking with Jesus at all times will give us the strength we need to be able to withstand these difficult times in life. Life isn't always easy, rely on the one who never fails. Things are hard, especially in the challenging times we are in today.
"For we walk by faith, and not by sight!"
Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, He it is who does go with you; He will not fail you, nor forsake you."
1 Corinthians 10:13
"There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it."
2 Corinthians 12:9
"And He said unto me, My Grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the Power of Christ may rest upon me."
1 Peter 4:12-13
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His Glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy."
1 Peter 6:6-7
"Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptation: That the trial of your Faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto Praise and Honor and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:1-5
"Therefore being Justified by Faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By Whom also we have access by Faith into this Grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the Glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulation also: knowing that tribulation works patience; And patience, experience, and experience, hope. And hope makes not ashamed; because the Love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us."
Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are called according to His purpose."
Romans 12:9-12
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another. Not slothful in business; fervent in Spirit serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation' continuing instant in prayer."
Philippians 4:5-7
"Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the Peace of God which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
