Comfort in Times of Trouble

"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
(John 16:33 NASB) (1)

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." (2Corinthians 12:9 NKJV) (2)

Troubled times come to all of us, some more than others it seems.  Nevertheless, when it is our turn to have problems, we may find solace in Jesus.  He has the power to carry us through when we reach the end of our own strength.  His power shines through our times of brokenness and heartache.

As the old hymn says, “Turn your eyes  upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face.  And, the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.” (3)
