This Sunday I’ll be sharing about what we can learn from the book of Acts and the letter to the Hebrews about trouble.
Here are three steps to help us with discouragement, and to cultivate trust.
1. As soon as you’re discouraged, look to Scripture, remember Jesus is greater than all our troubles. Meditate on faith building verses.
2. As soon as someone hurts you, pray for them.
3. Thank God for the struggle and ask Him what will he teach you through it? Remember, the struggle now is less than the joy that will come as Christ fills you and changes you. Joy will result.
These are truths in Scripture that have never failed me:
