Saying we have faith in God when life is going smooth is easy . When serious troubles are not a threat, confidence in God isn’t hard. The test is to check our faith when the waves of adversity are crashing against us. From my own experience, as a wife of 15 years and mother of eight children living on one income, life has been a challenge in multiple ways. With the financial state of our national economy over the last eight plus years, we’ve had scary times. We’ve gone through a major job loss before and now, well, here we are again. I am tempted to be worried, to despair even. The challenge my husband faces in finding a job that will support our large family close to the village we recently bought a home in, will be very hard. I could list many negatives against us, but I’m not going to. Honestly, the greatest temptation I have is to ask why I’m not worrying and freaking out. I have confidence in God now because He has always helped us through hard times . I can look back and see how my worrying, anger, questioning and living without peace never helped a situation; it only made life for me and my family worse. Every time we have faced hardships or uncertainty, whether it be losing a job, finding a place to live, hoping for a home of our own, health problems, hard pregnancies, relationship issues, through everything that we all go through in life, Have Confidence in God, Even in Difficulty! by Jessica Archuleta Top photo by Marek Piwnicki - Unsplash.com, Bottom photo by Aytam Zaker - Unsplash.com 12 Ottubru-Diċembru 2024 hajja
