For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all things tempted as we are, yet without sin.(Hebrews 4:15)
Many times we feel as though we are the only one going through things. Our teens feel like this generation is more challenged than any other. Our children believe they have it worse than any other children. Even adults, mature in the faith, will often go to God with the question; "Why me God?"
James advises us all as to why we face so many challenges in life. . .
. . .the testing of your faith produces perseverance. (James 1:3)
Whether we have put the challenge upon ourselves through our own actions or it is a test from God to strengthen us, the point is that all the struggles we go through can and will work out for our good if we allow God to take control. However, we must understand that we cannot do it alone. We must first admit that we need help . . . from our "High Priest" in heaven and from our fellow believers here on earth.
SURRENDERING is the key to victory!
