Are You Surprised When You Have Trouble?

Do you know anyone who never has trouble in this life? We can experience joy, but with it comes trouble. So, how do we handle the trials of life?

Jesus gave hope to his disciples as He warned them what would happen very shortly. The disciples would be afraid and leave Jesus alone as He was taken to the cross.

“’I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’”

John 16:33  NIV

In the previous verse Jesus says He is never alone because the Father is always with Him. We can always count on God to be with us, and we never have to feel alone.
