ROMMAI 8:18

Optimism doesn’t depend on what we see—it stems from what God says. This four-day Bible Plan from Life.Church unwraps eight reasons from Romans 8 to remain unwaveringly optimistic. Start reading part one of the six-part Stay Positive series.

Solange du lebst, wirst du immer wieder großes Leid erfahren. Vielleicht gehst du gerade durch so eine Zeit und hast das Gefühl, daß Gott dich verlassen hat. Vielleicht fragst du dich, warum Gott überhaupt Leid zulässt. Gib jetzt nicht auf! Gott geht zusammen mit dir durch das dunkelste Tal und gibt dir dabei Seinen göttlichen Trost. Er weiß jederzeit, was du mitmachst. Dein Leid wird von Ihm belohnt werden.

With eight billion people living in the world, there’s no one who will completely agree with you on everything. Our viewpoint on social injustices, politics, current events, and religion is uniquely ours. But even in our differences, we can and should find common ground. In this 5-day Plan, you’ll learn how to love, respect, and empathize with people by speaking truth with grace and gentleness.

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.
