He wants us to trust Him

I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. (Isaiah 41:18 KJV)

When you are faced with the possibility of troubles of any kind, you may be tempted to become engulfed in worries about what that might mean or what might happen, but you don’t have to take that path

You have to make a conscious decision to put your trust in Jesus no matter what the circumstances are. You have to choose to look beyond the troubles to the wonderful good that Jesus has promised to bring from them. Search not only for the obvious blessings but the seemingly hidden ones, such as the wisdom, the experience, and the stronger faith that can come out of these times, and pray for these.

The Lord wants each of His followers, regardless of our age or circumstances, to continue to persevere in spite of the troubles, depending on Him to bring us through as He sees fit. Whether they are present problems or potential ones in the future, He wants us to trust Him, knowing that He is right there with us. Whatever our burdens, we can be comforted.

He’s with us every step of the way. He will never leave us nor forsake us. There is always good within reach, if we refuse to focus on the waves and instead focus on Jesus and His blessings. [1]

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater;
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase.
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
to multiplied trials, His multiplied peace. – Annie J. Flint
