Maybe right now, you are going through a storm. Maybe you are struggling physically, mentally, financially, or spiritually. No matter what you are going through: God is here to help you through the storm.
Lately I know I have been going through a trials. Physically I have been in so much pain for the past eight months. I see my pain doctor tomorrow so I am hoping he can help me. But being in so much pain all the time is so exhausting and makes me depressed. I do know that God is right beside me. He is here to help me through this trial.
No matter what you are going through: God wants to help you through it. He wants to grab your hand and help you through this trial. He is stronger than any trial you could ever face. He is here love you, guide you, heal you, forgive you, strengthen you, help you, and just be there for you. He promised we would have trials and storms. But He promised to always be there with you through the storm.
I know trials can really shake your faith. Lately my faith has been shaken by having fibromyalgia and now ulcers. Truefully, I don’t have all the answers. Honestly I am still struggling with my faith and the trials I am going through. But I do know that God is here for me like He is here for you.
So just run into His arms and He will help through this storm!

Prayer:
Dear God,
I am going through some trials and storms. I don’t know what to do but I am running into your arms. I know you are always here for you. I thank you for all always being through for me. So I just pray that you help me through this. Please grab my hand and help me face this trial with you by my side.

What a testimony that God will use for His glory. Thanks for sharing
Said a prayer for you.
Wow your trials are a testimony of God’s grace. Now my problems are put in perspective. This post also prompted many to pray for you. God bless you
Even Job’s trial was temporal. Very few who write on the subject are enduring 6 decades of trials. Trails that were not self inflicted. Trials endured with microscopic support from family from believers from clergy.
Joni Erickson has endured endless trials. Joni is surrounded with support.
Imagine if all she received was blame and condemnation for her conditions.
You’ve been through a lot in your young life.
Thank you for sharing and relating
