Why is it that God allows us trails and constant pressure in your life? His purpose is to show us his all-sufficient and grace more effectively than if we were free from difficulties and trials. Another purpose is to bring us a greater awareness of our dependence upon him. God is constantly trying to teach us how dependent we are on him. We must stand not with self-made strength but always leaning upon Jesus. This teaches us to trust him more in our life. There is no way to learn of faith except through trails. This is God’s school of faith, and it is better for us to trust him.Once the lesson of faith has been learned, it is an everlasting possession and an eternal fortune gained. Yet without trust in God, even great riches will leave us in poverty.

 

 

Father, I am sure I am not alone when I say this, but, I really dislike difficulties and trials. At times they cause pain among several other emotions. Help me to remember that through these times you will use them to show me more of who you are, how to rely on you, how to become a better prayer warrior and how to draw closer to you. Help me to count it all joy, knowing you are with me every step of the way. In Christ Name, Amen!
