Bad times

1. James 1:2-5 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved
in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith
produces endurance. But you must let endurance have its full effect, so
that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. Now if any of
you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously
without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.

2. Romans 5:3-4 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing

that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope.

examine your conscience. God arranges for both kinds of days So that
we won’t take anything for granted.

Peace

Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart,
because I have overcome the world.

your life.

All things work together for good

9. Romans 8:28-29 And we know that God causes everything to work

together for the good of those who love God and are called according
to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he
chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the
firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

10. Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to

Call on the Lord

everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.

about you.
