How To Get Through The Hard Things With Peace
I want to share a few thoughts with any dear believer going through hard things at the moment. Maybe you’re suffering pain, sickness, loss or some other trial and cannot see any purpose or find peace in all this suffering.
I would start by encouraging you to ask yourself one question.
What blessings would I have missed if God hadn’t allowed this hard thing in my life?
Maybe it’s hard to think of any, but God can open your eyes to His blessings your hard if you ask Him to.
If God has allowed it, there’s a loving purpose in it.
Have you tried thanking and praising God for your hard things?
Maybe that sounds impossible, you don’t feel you can, but God will give you the grace to praise Him both in and for the trial if you ask Him and it’s the path to peace in our hard things.
God tells us in His Word to…
‘Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation (gentleness) be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.’
‘Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;’
What will the result of that be?
‘The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’
What a precious promise !
Satan wants to keep you in a negative place but God tells us to cast ‘down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;’
God has promised to work all things, even your hard things together for your good if you love Him. Though you may not be able to see how right now, praise Him in faith that He will and He will bless you and comfort with His perfect peace as you trust Him in your hard.
