When Things Get Difficult

God never promised us that things would be easy. But He did promise us that through it all, we would never be alone. He doesn’t promise us an easy path, and there are plenty of stories in the Bible where people went through a lot of hardship. Paul wrote most of the New Testament and was arrested multiple times, for example, but never lost faith.

One of my go-to verses for when I’m going through something difficult is this…

“We know that God works all things together for good for the ones who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose” — Romans 8:28 CEB

Another favorite of mine (which I may have already written about on here) is…

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you won’t be scorched and flame won’t burn you” — Isaiah 43:2 CEB
