There are times when we think how great it would be to have stress-free lives…lives without difficulties, conflicts, or troubles. However, we must realize that it’s those very circumstances, granted to us by our God, that grow and strengthen our relationship with Him, who is, and who will be, our ever-present Helper, bringing us through them.

Psalm 18:6

In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice; my cry came before Him, into His ears.

Psalm 46:1, 7

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble…7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

“I thank God for the mountains, and I thank Him for the valleys,

I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.

For if I’d never had a problem, I wouldn’t know that God could solve them,

I’d never know what faith in God could do.” ~ Andraé Crouch

The Lord bless you and keep you…
