At present it feels like there is so much sadness in the world. Almost every day we hear of horrific things occurring in this country and across the world. With many wars, conflicts, whispers of economic failures and the ever increasing cost of living, life can be hard and appear to be without hope
As well as problems in society and the world, we all have our own personal troubles and difficulties. Financial problems, ill health, family situations and many more challenges. Sometimes these personal problems are the ones we find most difficult to bear. Christians find comfort that these troubles and worries can be taken to God in heaven, the creator of the world. God does not say that he will remove all these difficulties and trials, but he does promise to be with us as we walk through them. He gives a peace which we cannot explain and an inner joy, despite our circumstances.
Romans chapter 15 verse 13; Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope.
