I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. - Romans 8:18

1: Trusting God is easy when life is good. But what about when it’s hard? 2: When the prayers feel unanswered. When the waiting feels too long. When the outcome feels uncertain. 3: Trusting God doesn’t mean you have all the answers. It's believing He does. 4: If you’re in a difficult season right now: God hasn’t forgotten you. He's working it all out, even if you can't see it.

1: Joy is still possible in hard seasons 2: Be honest with God. Bring all your emotions to Him. God can handle it. 3: Remember that seasons change. What feels painful today won't last forever. God is at work. 4: Stay connected in community. It's easy to isolate in hard seasons, but don't. Healing can happen when we walk through it with others. 5: Fix your eyes on God. Trust that He is still good. Hold on to His promises. 6: If you’re in a hard season right now, remember this: God has not left you. Even here, joy can still be found.

1. “God, let me die.” (A story you need to read.) 2. Elijah had just called down fire from heaven and then ran for his life because one person threatened him. 3. He collapsed in the desert, alone, and prayed the most honest prayer of his life: "I've had enough, Lord. Take my life." 4. God's response wasn't a rebuke, a lecture, or a theology lesson. It was an angel, a fresh loaf of bread, and a jar of water. 5. He was told to eat, because the journey ahead was going to be longer than he had strength for right now. 6. God never told Elijah his feelings were wrong. He just refused to let discouragement and exhaustion have the final word. 7. If you're sitting under your own tree right now, the God who met Elijah in the desert already knows where you are. He has what you need.
