The Bible teaches us that our everyday combat as Christians is one of faith. You have to admit, having faith in God during difficult times is not always easy. There are so many reasons to feel defeated sometimes: suffering through an illness, facing a professional failure, having problems at home… It can be enough to make you feel lost, abandoned, and scared. However, believing and turning to God can help you face all your fears. Jesus told Jairus, whose daughter had just passed, to “just believe” (Mark 5: 36). A few moments later, Jesus raised her from the dead. We know well that everything is possible to God, but do not forget that nothing is impossible to those who believe. The Word of God reminds us firmly that the Lord can help us. Let’s discover 4 beautiful promises of God with these Bible verses: it will remind you to persevere and rely on Him!

“In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
