This Too Shall PassSample

Don't lose hope

In times of distress, it can feel as though the pain and suffering will never end. Stuck in the midst of our trials, we cannot see a way out and can lose hope and faith in God’s ability to save us.

Psalm 28 reminds us that the Lord is always listening to us. He has mercy on us, and we can trust Him and depend on Him in our times of need. We should have joy even in the midst of trials, and our words and actions should still represent the glory of living life with God, walking with a God who loves us, guides us and supports us emotionally.

It can be challenging to have faith and to represent God’s love when we’re struggling. Regardless of our fleshly struggle against depression, motivation and holiness, our spirits are willing and want to partner with the Holy Spirit to give life back to our dry thirsty bones. Never forget, even in the mist of your challenges, that there is a God who loves you, who is watching over you, and who sees the struggles you’re going through.

This period of challenge will pass, and you will come out the other side stronger in spirit, in character, in perseverance and in relationship with God (James 1:2-4). Don’t lose hope. Maintain faith in the one who sacrificed everything to have a relationship with you.
