| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"In life, we will have pain. Although that isn't a comforting thought, it is reality. When trials and tribulations test our faith, we can turn to our Heavenly Father for everything we need.
God is always there to comfort us in our pain and encourage us. Difficult situations give us the choice of depending on God or relying on our strength. Even if we haven't yet made it to the other side of a tough time, God can give us peace in the middle of the storms of life.
God knows that on the other side of our pain is victory. Jesus already defeated life and death--His victory is offered to us as a gift.
So, how does God encourage us in troubling times? He sends people to lift us up. He fills us with His power to strengthen us. He gives us wisdom to see beyond what is currently happening and to see the future He has waiting for us." |

God isn't affected by the depth of our situations. He is never overwhelmed or left without knowing what to do. He holds all the answers. God knows our past, He is with us now, and He sees the future He has in store for us.
Our mind can be one of our biggest hindrances in times of trouble. If we don't allow God to affect our hearts and minds, then we will continue to struggle. Anxiety can rob us of our peace. But we can take comfort in knowing that God's peace is bigger than any pain and worry.
