To Messiah’s People: Love, Pastor

John 16:33 (NLT) “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

God’s Promise to Me

*Trials and sorrows are part of living in a fallen world. *The Lord is bigger than the worldly troubles you face.

My Prayer to God

Heavenly Father, trials and sorrows are a normal part of life. I don’t like this truth, but it reminds me of my need for You, God. I take heart in the fact that You will have the final word. I praise you because You are powerful and sovereign over my life — even the hard times. Always keep me looking to You. Give me the “grace I need to get through.” In Jesus’ name. Amen.
