Have you ever been in a period of life where nothing went right? No matter what you did or where you went, troubles followed you. I’ve had times like that, so my heart goes out to people who just can’t seem to catch a break. Sometimes it’s just the result of many decisions they’ve made along the way. Other times it’s just the result of Murphy’s Law. Either way, God cares, He wants to rescue you and He wants to grow you.
David seemed to go through these periods often. If you read the Psalms, there are a great many of them where he’s feeling down because of everything that’s going on. In those times, he made sure he prayed for help from God, and he reminded himself to keep trusting God no matter what. Even if we pray about our situation, sometimes we need those mental reminders that God hears us and He’s on His way to help us.
Here are some Bible verses on going through trouble
1. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.
Psalms 34:19 NLT
2. The righteous is rescued from trouble, And the wicked takes his place.
PROVERBS 11:8 AMP
3. Disciples so often get into trouble; still, GOD is there every time.
Psalm 34:19 MSG
4. Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
James 1:2-4 NLT
5. We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God’s approval, and his approval creates hope. This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to us.
Romans 5:3-5 GNT

Thank you Lord
We can learn a lot from David in the Bible.
One great thing to learn is he always stayed in prayer and talked to God.
He encouraged himself in the Lord.
He shows us about that Personal Relationship with our lord.
Thank you
Thank God
