"Trouble and prayer are closely related.
 Trouble often drives men to God in prayer,
 while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble."

"If we do anything to further the kingdom of God,

 we may expect to find what Christ found on that road... 

 abuse,

 indifference,

 injustice,

 misunderstanding,

 trouble of some kind.

 Take it.

 Why not?

 To that you were called.

 In Latin America someone who feels sorry for himself

 is said to look like a donkey in a downpour.

 If we think of the glorious fact that we are on the

 same path with Jesus, we might see a rainbow."

"Jesus promised the disciples three things.....

"Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible

 in bright moments as well as in trouble, 

we cannot fully respond to its consolations

 because we lack equilibrium between

 light and darkness."

"Trouble is one of God's great servants

 because it reminds us how much

 we continually need the Lord."

"God's first great design in all our trouble 

is that we might let go of self-confidence.

 When we do that, there is a temporary

 sense of falling.

 But by faith in God's mercy, we land,

 infinitely more secure,

 in the arms of our Father,

 who is utterly in control at the brink

 of life and death." 

Written By: John Piper

Through out my life, facing trials, 

tribulations, storms and great losses....

I have learned that my help comes 

from my Lord and Savior! 

My help comes from God Almighty! 

My peace and comfort comes from 

the Holy Spirit! 

I am nothing! 

I am a nobody! 

I am just a small grain of sand floating 

in the winds of time.....

But I am still important to God, 

because He created me to love Him...

God created me to praise Him....

God created me to serve Him....

God created me because He 

wanted to...not because He 

had to.....

God is my refuge and my rescuer

in my day of trouble and sorrow. 

Evg. Sherrill A. McDonald
