I've been asked how I can keep up a positive attitude when I go through tough times. A couple of verses come to mind.
2 Timothy 6:12 " I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day."
If I trust God with my eternal salvation, how can I not trust Him with the every day details of my life. I believe that everything that happens to me, He already knows about. Nothing takes God by surprise - none of my struggles or problems are news to Him.
James 1:2-4 " Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything"
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. "
No matter what troubles I face, I know that God goes with me, that He loves me, and that He wants the best for me. Sometimes I need to face hard situations in order for my faith to grow.
If you are facing hard times, thank God for them and look to see His hand helping you through.
