How to stand through trials

When you’re a Christian, the number one thing that you’re going to go through in life is trials. Do not get me wrong, please hear me out, your life will be something amazing. Your life will be full of happiness and joy and smiles and happy days. However, after all of the sunshine, there will be rain. The number one thing that you have to remember when going through these trials is to have God in your mind at all times. Remember this that Jesus was perfect and even he was tempted by the devil, are we any greater than Jesus? No! We don’t even come close to being compared to Jesus. Anyways here are some tips as to how to stand during trials

When falling, reach out to God

            God is the only source of good in our lives. He blesses us, he gives us our lives, he loves us to death, and he never betrays us. Things may look bad, however, we should never blame God for the sins that we do. Again I bring up the story of Job. How Job was a perfect and just man who loved God and eschewed evil. Job was perfect and even he went through plagues and things that would make any grown man cry. However, Job kept his integrity and never doubted God. That is the way that we should be. In the end of that story, Job demanded that God would tell him why all of that was happening. God responded, but he never really answered Job’s question. We just have to trust in God because God is good.

If you stray, go back to God

            This life is full of things that can make any Christian want to abandon his faith. However, if we do find that we have abandoned God, we need to go back to him. Never let this little hiccup stop you from worshipping the God that created you

            I remember a few times in my life, I have sincerely said, “o.k. God does not exist!” and then immediately afterwards I went back and apologized because I know that my life is going to be worse than with God. Right now all I worry about is small things, however, when I’m without God, I will have to worry about a whole plethora of horrible things. God has my back though because I immediately go and say that he is good and start worshipping again. Let’s get something straight here, God does exist. He is eternal, he is forever, he will live forever, and we can confide in him.

            In conclusion, I could sit here for hours talking about different mental techniques to do when going through trials, however, there is no other thing that will help you but God. God is the ultimate person who can help us because he is all powerful, he is great, and he will forever be great. Thank you all for listening in on this blog post.
