THERE IS HOPE

The Bible acknowledges that life can be challenging and filled with difficulties. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” This verse reassures us that while we will face struggles and hardships, we can find peace in our relationship with Christ because He has already triumphed over the challenges of the world.

Another passage to consider is James 1:2-4, which states, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Here, we see that trials can lead to growth in character and faith.

It’s also comforting to remember Psalm 34:19: “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.” This reminds us that God is with us in our struggles and provides deliverance.

When facing difficulties in life, it’s important to lean on God for strength and guidance through prayer and reading His Word. Trusting Him allows us to find hope even in the toughest times.

Life is rough and hard just as it is

If we follow Christ we can avoid some of the difficulties Life gives us

And by trusting the lord’s guidance He can guide you in making the right choices and decisions.

He will help you out

We are grateful for Your promise that You will deliver us from our troubles. Please guide us each day as we trust in Your strength and seek Your wisdom through prayer and reading the Bible.

Lord, help us make good choices and be a source of encouragement for others who are struggling too. Thank You for always being by our side.

In Jesus’ name, we pray,

Amen.”
