In James MacDonald's new book, 'When Life Is Hard', he teaches us why we face trials, how we are to react to trials, and what the results will be when we go through those trials. Many folks I know are going through very tough times and need love, prayers, and encouragement.
One of lessons that I really appreciated was the three question faith test on page 59...
1. Do you believe that God is in control?
2. Do you believe that God is good, no matter what you see, no matter what you face?
3. Will you wait on Him by faith until the darkness becomes light?
If we believe that God is in control, then we don't worry if God can help us? If we believe that God is good, then we won't question or doubt Him. We will know that we must trust Him as we go through that trial or problem situation. And that brings us to the third question... if we know that God is in control and that He is good, then we will ask Him for help in our endurance, patience, and strength.
If you will get a group of people of around you to use these three questions as reinforcement for your faith, you will be able to stay stronger as you go through your trials.
Keep praying....
