However, we thought it might be encouraging to explain how Christians<strong> might deal with approaching trials<\/strong>. Then whenever some dear one needs spiritual support, strength, and encouragement, he or she might remember these words of wisdom from the apostles.<\/p>\n<p>First, &ldquo;<strong>Have faith in God<\/strong>.&rdquo; Mark 11:22 (NKJV)&nbsp; God is our stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NET). &ldquo;No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others. And<strong> God is faithful<\/strong>: He will <strong>not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear<\/strong>, but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be <strong>able to endure it<\/strong>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Every trial is really a<strong> blessing from the Lord <\/strong>because it teaches us obedience, love, and grace. James 1:2-4 (NKJV), 2 &ldquo;My brethren, <strong>count it all joy when you fall into various trials<\/strong>, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces <strong>patience.<\/strong> 4 But let patience have its <strong>perfect work, that you may be perfect <\/strong>(<em>mature)<\/em><strong> and complete, lacking nothing<\/strong>.&rdquo; It is hard to be joyful when having a trial, but trials purify our characters. We develop more determination to serve and do God&rsquo;s will over our own wills. This determination will develop a more <strong>Christ-like character<\/strong> with mature fruits of the spirit.<\/p>\n<p>In order to know <strong>how to glorify God through a trial<\/strong>, ask God for wisdom. James 1:5-6 (NKJV), &ldquo;If any of you <strong>lacks wisdom<\/strong>, let him <strong>ask of God, who gives to all liberally<\/strong> and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him <strong>ask in faith<\/strong>, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, embrace these three scriptures. They will give you comfort. Psalm 34:15 (NKJV), &ldquo;The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And <strong>His ears are open to their cry<\/strong>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 145:18 (NKJV), &ldquo;The LORD is <strong>near to all who call upon Him<\/strong>, To all who call upon Him<strong> in truth<\/strong>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Luke 18:1 NKJV), &ldquo;Then He (<em>Jesus<\/em>) spoke a parable to them, that <strong>men always ought to pray and not lose heart<\/strong>&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read about the principles that God uses when answering our prayers and why we can have confidence in His direction.<\/p>\n<p>Download the free PDF:&nbsp;&quot;How God Answers Prayer&quot;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This app does not post prayer requests.
