Who has not been in distress? Who has not been beside themselves for the trial that they are having to walk through? It is not as though we go looking for trials and troubles, though at times I think some people do, but more like they find us when we least need to be having it. They come up out of nowhere, They hit us from the blind side. They hit us where we thought we were strong. They can leave us in a very anxious, fearful, wanting, and desperate state. God’s word is full of promises and testimonies of His steadfast and ever-present help. We need only to lay our trials and troubles into His hands and trust His unchanging and unlimited love.
