Sometimes in life we can go through many trials and tribulations. We wonder why God is allowing so much to go on, feeling like your struggling alone and don’t understand why. Sometimes our Father seems to stay silent when you need Him the most. However, He never promised us a perfect life on earth but a life with Him, He never promised us a life free of pain and troubles but a life seeing Him work in our lives and drawing us nearer to Him in our suffering and pain. God allows things to happen in our lives to strengthen our faith. To keep us depending on Him. We also have an enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy. He wants us to doubt God, not spend time with Him. He will make you too busy to spend time on God, after all you need to watch TV or scroll on your phone, have that ‘me’ time, don’t we?

Our Father in Heaven loves us and will work in those trying times. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it but He is. He uses the dark times to draw us closer to Him. To depend on Him.

James 1 v 2-3 Consider it all joy my brothers ad sisters when you encounter various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance

1 Peter 1 v 6 to 9 we greatly rejoice in our salvation even though you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold, which perishes though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Times of trouble and pain will come to us all. we live in a fallen world but keep praying, keep praising keep trusting, keep looking to God.

God loves us and works everything out for our good of those who love him who have been called according to His purpose. One day the sun will shine and the darkness will flee , so hang on in there God has you in the palm of His hands Amen
