When life becomes tough we don’t know what to do. We often wonder why bad things happen to good people, but when it rains, it pours. Life is unpredictable, we never know what’s going to happen from one day to the next. As life goes on from day to day struggles and troubles come to knock us down, such as sickness, debt, job loss, and everything in between. When that happens, it frustrates us and causes stress, depression, and anxiety. I know that we all have been through things, go through things, and come through things that we thought we couldn’t, but the good thing about it is that we are never alone.
When I think about life becoming tough, I think about the Apostles. They all went through things that they never thought they would, and think about what Jesus went through the night before He was crucified. Think about what He went through in the garden when He was praying. At times, we all become afraid of something that we are going through that we don’t understand.
Jesus never told us that life was going to be easy. He didn’t tell us that we were not going to have troubles, but He did tell us to be encouraged, and take heart because He overcame the world. So, with that being said, we can overcome the obstacles that we face in our lives. Whatever we are going through we can give it to Him. We can leave it at His feet and not have to worry about anything. Whether it’s sickness, heartache, and pain, we can leave it with Jesus. He can fix everything in our lives, solve all of our problems, and give us strength when we ask for it.
