Reading Verse: Deuteronomy 2:1-37<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test,<\/p>\n

that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
\nJames 1:12<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this life, there are several seasons that we must go through such as season of joy, difficulties, failure or success. The most difficult part is when we must face the difficult season. However, we should not let the difficult season weaken us because we are never alone in life. Jesus is always there to guide, to give us strength and to help us. Our problems are not bigger than our strength, so we must keep up our spirit. It is a test of our faith when we experience difficulties. The quality of our faith cannot be proven only in good times, but also in difficult times, to see whether we have a strong faith.<\/p>\n

We need to get close to God by praying more because He is the source of our strength. When we are close to Him, we remain strong. In addition, by being close to Him we can have peace which will enable us to face problems. In the middle of hardship, we need to believe that behind every problem God\u2019s beautiful plan is for us; His plan never fails.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we should stop worrying. Keep a positive mind that God never plans evil things. Don\u2019t dwell in anxiety because it won\u2019t solve problems. In any situations, we should learn to keep calm and trust the Lord. Never worry, because as long as God is with us, there will always be the best way out. In peace lies our strength. In addition, in times of troubles let us keep our focus on God alone. Never get affected by the problems. If our focus on the problems is bigger than our focus on God, then our faith will become weak, and it will make us give up easily.<\/p>\n

Life is always attached with problems. However, we must remain strong and be optimistic because with God we will be able to face all kinds of problem and we will become conquerors.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get close to God by praying more because He is the source of our strength\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
