Trials and Troubles come, but...

"¹² Let your hope make you glad.  Be patient in

time of trouble and never stop praying."

Romans 12:12 CEV

We all have a hope...a hope in Christ.  That hope should 

make us glad and able to withstand

anything that the enemy would throw our way.  We all go through trials and troubles...boy, do we?  Sometimes those trials and troubles seem to take over our life.  I've been there...on more than one occasion.  We must know that that is a part of life and that just because we are a Christian doesn't mean that it won't happen.  KNOW the enemy despises us.  KNOW that he has one thing on his mind...to destroy us!  KNOW that God has our back.  And "³¹ ...If God is for us, who can ever be against us?"  Romans 8:31 NLT  There is nothing the enemy can do to us because God is for us!  Be patient in those times of trial and trouble.  KNOW that God has a reason for allowing them to come your way!  And most importantly...NEVER, EVER stop praying for the Father's will!

God is a good God who loves His children and wants no harm to come to them.  Trust Him in times of trouble...ask Him what He is trying to teach you during that time.  Learn from it and move on being glad in your Hope which is Christ Jesus!!

Have a blessed day!
