---When In Trouble/ Run to Jesus ~~

--Friends,

---When we hit hard times, the most important questions for every one of us are, "How does this affect my relationship with Jesus? Do I desire whatever leads me on the course of loving, worshiping, serving and honoring Him even if it's hard and painful? Am I willing to allow God to do whatever he chooses to my life?"

Answering these questions is difficult at best of times, but when we're suffering, I'm convinced that only the knowledge that God is with us allows us to respond well. Knowing that God is not uncaring and distant, or even helplessly wringing His hands on the sidelines, makes a world of difference. He is in control! "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28, ESV).

It is a great comfort to know that the hard things we go through serve a purpose in His bigger picture for our lives. Spreading this message and encourage believers around the world is only possible with the prayers of our friends. We must pray for one another.

-"Father God, thank You for sending your Son, to pay my (our) sin-debt on the Cross. Help me to reach out to others with this eternal message of hope, in Jesus Name. amen~" ~~
