God DOES NOT promise EXEMPTION from trouble; He promises PROTECTION through trouble

God doesn’t always bring peace to your circumstances, but He does bring "Peace" to your spirit. With real faith in a real Savior and support from true friends, you can make it through any storm in your life. When your whole world seems to cave in, God is still there and He cares. God, I pray for you to strengthen our faith at times of uncertainty. Guide and Teach each of us to Trust in You when our world seems to caves in. Guide each of us to Reach Out and Encourage each other in times of Trouble and Sadness. Also, I pray that you Guide each of us to build our lives, with you as our Foundation and not to base our worth on the sifting sand of this world. Please hold us close in Your Arms when Hard Times Arise and to use it as a tool to Deepen our Faith and Trust in You. Amen • The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:18
