     | 7,103 views

    Paul gives a revealing picture of the hardships of his ministry. Nine trials are listed here, and most can be found in the book of Acts. What stands out to me is how Paul writes with knowledge of how some perceive him because of the trails

    based on 1 rating
     | 904 views

    The best thing we can do during difficulties and trials is to bring all our griefs, troubles, and discouragements to Jesus. This is what John the Baptist did when he was in prison, and it helped him move from doubting to faith.

    Whenever you face trials and problem, don’t try to work it out yourself, give it to Jesus, and He’ll work it out for you. He said He’ll give you power!
