“We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.” 2Corinthians 1:8-10 Life can be tough at times. We all suffer, get discouraged, feel lonely at times, and face criticism. Jesus experienced all of this. We all do. Through our struggles we can draw closer to God. Don’t be discouraged. don’t give up or give in. Remember God is with you, rely on Him to protect you and direct you, and be blessed.
