The Bible teaches that we should rejoice when we face challenges in life. God desires to use those experiences to help us grow in our faith. When we tackle the hard things in life it helps us learn to endure in the midst of hardship. God’s grace and love shines when we struggle. “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” – 2 Corinthians 1:8-10. What does that mean? It means that God loves us and will help us through the challenges. While it may be hard to have joy when times are terrible we should. Praise God that He is always with us. Amen
