How Do You Experience Peace/Joy In Hardships

 “Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you that in Me, you may have perfect peace and confidence. In this world you will have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration, but take courage, be confident, be certain, and undaunted for I have overcome the world, I have deprived it of power to harm and have conquered it for you.” John 16:33 Amplified

Faith Says…

  1. We live daily in the love of God – in a non-circumstantial love. Love carries us through every hardship, whatever it might be. It’s the love of God that keeps us going.
  1. No matter how challenging, nor how tough, despite the severity of any trial, we fully trust God. Why?
  1. Because we believe everything that happens in our life has come to us by God’s will or by His permission. God knows us completely and knows what we need. There is a purpose for everything that comes our way.
  1. We are convinced that God uses every hardship to strategically forms our lives, shaping and molding and making us more like Jesus.
  1. We understand the real issue confronting us is not the hardships and problems that face us; they are to be expected; the real issue is how we respond. Do we really believe 3 & 4?
