Did Jesus suffer? Was he sometimes lonely? Was he tempted to be discouraged? Was he misunderstood, maligned, and criticized unjustly?
๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐! None of us are exempt from suffering, loneliness, discouragement, or unjust criticism, because God is developing within us ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ, and, in order to do this, he must take us ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐๐ก ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:8b-9, โWe were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the deadโ (NLT).
So, what should you do when youโre going through difficult times?
1๏ธโฃ You refuse to be discouraged.
2๏ธโฃ You remember God is with you.
3๏ธโฃ Rely on Godโs protection and guidance.
We all go through difficult times. The difference for those who believe in Jesus is not the absence of the shadow but the presence of the ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ.๐ฏ๏ธ
