4 things we need to know when we’re going through trials:

1.                THERE IS PURPOSE IN THE PRESSURE

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

2.                YOU HAVE THE ANSWER KEY

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 

Romans 8:32

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

When you have questions, who do you ask?

Job 12:13

To God belong wisdom and power;
    counsel and understanding are his.

Psalm 4:8

In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.

Where have you been wrestling? Where do you have questions? Where do you need wisdom?

Come to God with your questions and ask him for wisdom. And ask in faith.

James 1:6-8

6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
