John 16:33 "I tell you all this that in me you may find peace. You will suffer in the world. But take courage! I have overcome the world."
1 Peter 4:12 "Do not be surprised, beloved, that a trial by fire is occurring in your midst. It is a test for you, but it should not catch you off guard."
Romans 5:3-5 "We even boast of our afflictions! We know that afflictions makes for endurance, and endurance for tested virtue, and tested virtue for hope. And this hope will not leave us disappointed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
Count your blessings and thank God in all your sorrows like the Psalmist did in Ps.30:11 "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing." Have faith in the God who holds tomorrow's opportunities and blessings in His very hands. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Isaiah 40:31 "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint."
1 Corinthians 2:9 "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him."
Be of good cheer. Storms in life are just temporary and they, too, will pass, even afflictions. They are sometimes appointed to develop one's character and strengthen it so that it is rooted on solid ground.
Afflictions, pressures and problems will come to pass, they will not stay with a Christian believer. Just like any typhoon, it will pass and will be gone before you know it.
