Troubles surround us on a daily basis. Does that mean we should run away from these troubles in life? Does it mean we should think about them and let them consume our daily thoughts?  The Book of Psalms tells us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1.

If we let the problems and troubles in our life consume us, it makes most all of the people around us unhappy. It spreads like a disease causing only pain and anguish to those we are close to and especially to ourselves. If we take the things in this life, that are bringing us down and causing us such anguish, to our Lord God in prayer, the troubles may still be there, but getting through them will become a LOT easier.

The reason I am talking about troubles today is because I needed to remind myself not to be consumed by the troubles in my life. Hopefully this will serve as a reminder to me that, yes, troubles will come, but with them coming, they also will go. There is a time for everything in life including troubles. And through each of these times, our lives become a brighter testimony to those who go through those same type of things after us. We can be there for those people, with sympathy,truly knowing what they are going through because we have already been there and know that we can offer them a hand of encouragement to help them get through there tough times.

So, it may seem like the worse thing in the world to have to go through times of trouble, but remember, always, no matter what, don’t lose faith and never give up.
