In Times of Trouble

Feeling depressed, anxious, worried?
 
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8
 
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; and He delivers them from all their troubles." Psalm 34:17
 
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
 
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,  who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
 
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.  But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed." 1 Peter 4:12-13
 
 
The last verse says don't be surprised at the suffering you are enduring. For there will be glory revealed! Always know God doesn't put you through your sufferings alone, He never leaves your side and He brings just the right people at the right timing. Its not your timing, it's God's.
Most of the time, we pity ourselves when we go through difficult situations. When instead we should be PRAISING the God of all comfort for what is to come! :)
