wat to do when in trial

1Peter 1:6
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genunieness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Trials come to our lives inspite of God's blessing around our lives. We are blessed yet God does permit trials in our lives.... Jesus died for our curse and in exchange he gave us the blessing of God.... however trials do not mean we are cursed but trials are used to test our faith... trials are like fire that test our faith... and trials may at times bring grieve to us.... 2 things to do when in trials.

1. Keep believing. (stay in faith)
God wants us to keep believing... Romans 15:13 says that joy and peace are found in believing.... 1Peter 1:8 says that though we do not see Him, yet believing, we rejoice with joy inexpressible. David said that he would have lost heart unless he made a decision to believe that he would see God's deliverance and goodness... today want to encourage you, the greater the trial the greater the mountian top.... keep believing... For many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers them all. keep your hopes up by believing.

2. Receive God's mercy and grace.
God wants us to come to Him and receive His mercy and grace in our time of trouble. Hebrews 4:15-16 says we have a High Priest Jesus who understands our grieve and trials and wants us to come to Him boldly to find grace and mercy in our time of need. God wants to be close to you when you are in ur trial... Trials are not forever, it has a time that it will eventually end and your breakthru will come.
