\"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness\" 2 Peter 1:3 (BSB)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Facing life's trials
with Jesus<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Bible is inspired by God. He caused men to write it for both our present and eternal joy. It has something to say about all of life's problems. If we listen to God, He helps us to know how to live and find solutions to our problems.<\/p>\n

If we come to the Bible with an open mind, willing to see ourselves as we really are and to meet with the Jesus of the Bible, then God will speak through His word.<\/p>\n

God does not promise us heaven on earth, nor will He give us everything we want. We have to trust that God is good and He answers our prayers for our good and His glory. God knows what is best for us.<\/p>\n

There are trials and sorrows in each of our lives. If we trust God and allow Him to speak to us through His word and these studies, He will help us through the tough times. Our greatest need is to be reconciled with God Himself. He forgives our sins through Jesus\u2019 sacrifice and gives us eternal life with Him.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Guilt<\/a><\/h2>

Some guilt fades by morning. Some does not. There are things we have done, or failed to do, that come back to us for years, and no amount of keeping busy makes them go away. What can be done with a guilty conscience?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Stress<\/a><\/h2>

Too much to do and too little time. People depending on you at work and at home. A mind that will not switch off at night. Stress is so common that we treat it as normal, but it wears people out. Does the Bible have anything to say to it?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Rejection<\/a><\/h2>

To be turned away by someone who should have loved you is one of the deepest hurts there is: a parent who left, a husband or wife who walked out, friends who dropped you, a family that shut the door. It can leave a person feeling worthless. God has something to say to you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Facing death<\/a><\/h2>

Most of us avoid thinking about death until it comes close: a diagnosis, a funeral, a night when sleep will not come. The Bible does not avoid it. It tells us plainly why we die, why we fear it, and how that fear can be taken away.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Money problems<\/a><\/h2>

Few worries press as hard as money. A bill that cannot be paid, work that has gone, a debt that grows: these keep people awake, and they can make us feel ashamed. What does God say to someone who does not have enough?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Coping with depression<\/a><\/h2>

Many people know what it is to feel empty, low and without hope, sometimes for a long time. If that is you, the Bible does not brush you aside. Some of God\u2019s own people felt this deeply, and God did not despise them for it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
