1 Peter 4:12 & 13 (Jesus Bible)
12: Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.
13: Instead, be very glad-because these trials will make you partners with Christ in His suffering, and afterward you will have the wonderful joy of sharing His glory when it is displayed to all the world.
It is not the trials in life that will make us or destroy us. Its how we respond to the hardships. W must remember to first, Trust God. Believe what He tells us in His word. Secondly, we must persevere. Don’t give up or throw in the towel. And finally, remember that our Sovereign God is in control. He is allowing the adversity for a reason. We will encounter difficulties, sometimes intense painful trials that seems too much for us. Yet we can rely on Our heavenly father to deliver and grow us in ways we could never have imagined. Just trust God!
“Lord, we know the trials will come, but we are just trusting You to carry us through. Help us to keep our focus on You. In Jesus name, Amen!”
