As I was reading this, one scripture came to mind, and I was pleased to find it listed here with the others... I think it is the most important one when we encounter things like this in our lives; James 1:2-4 but I would also suggest going on and reading the whole chapter, because it carries a strong message of God's will for us through temptations and trials of life.
ReplyDeleteRomans 8:28 is what carries us through the hardest of times in our lives, because He knows what will be the BEST outcome, and will direct things towards that outcome.
Another scripture that I rely on heavily in times that are trying and when I have reached the heights of frustration, is Psalm 34 specifically vs. 1 (That helps me control an angry tongue) but the whole chapter is a story of deliverance through faith and perseverance.
I know that this is long and wordy and probably not what you needed right now, but I thought it might help in the long run to know that you're not ever alone. God is Faithful, merciful, and Just. You are in my Prayers my friend.
