I have some random thoughts. I've been going through some rough times as of late and I've found my faith to be waivering big time. Through some conversation with a sister in Christ she told me to look up the following verses in the bible.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith devlops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
James 1:2-4.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
As soon as I read these passages a reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized that God knows what he's doing. He's allowing these trails to happen to test me. I know that I will only become a stronger person and my faith will be stronger through this. Since I realized this a total peace has come over my heart and it's a great feeling to know that peace.
