Why do children suffer? Why do terrible things happen to decent people? Job, a righteous man, lost family, fortune, health, and friends. None of us leave this life untouched by trouble.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Peace through trouble is knowing that God is in control. Some people react with bitterness toward the things God allows in their lives--- death of a loved one, illness, tragedy, ect. Trials can make us or break us.
It would do us well to remember that God’s purpose in trials is not to destroy us, but to perfect us. In my deepest trial of cancer I felt the ever compassionate arms of Jesus around me, comforting me as only He can.
God can give you better things than those you may have lost or are worried about losing. At his lowest point, Job said, "Though God slay me yet I'll trust Him." The Lord generously restored Job’s losses. He came to understood that his trials happened for the glory of God.
Never give up on The Lord.
