Hope in Times of Trouble

‘In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’

John 16:33

Lord, I’ve heard people say that those who trust in You should not have trials in this life if their faith is strong enough. But in Your Word, You say the opposite. You say that I should expect trouble in this world. It’s guaranteed. But that’s not where the message ends.

Thank You for encouraging me to take heart. Even more, thank You for the work You did on the cross to defeat sin and overcome the world. In You I know I already have the victory because of Your sacrificial death and resurrection.

Keep my eyes focused on the end game. Lift my sight beyond these present challenges to eagerly anticipate what lies ahead when You return—eternity in Your presence. Help me to keep a right perspective of my current circumstances, knowing that they will soon end in exchange for glory with You.

Amen
