Tough times are integrated into our lives by God to grow us into conformity to His Son.  Sometimes the trials lead to broken-heartedness.  Dear ones: Be comforted in knowing that God is always in the midst of every trial to comfort you, and deliver you, and give you His grace, which is always sufficient for every need.

Psalm 34:18-19

18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5;12:9

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

12:9 And the Lord has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”

“The greatest good suffering can do for me is to increase my capacity for God.” ~ Joni Eareckson-Tada
