2 Corinthians 4:8-9

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed: we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed.

Gods’ plan has never changed, and His word is just as real today for us in our time.  If we focus on the world around us, we would be in constant despair and troubled.  We need to remind ourselves that we know how this all turns out.  We were made for this time and given the strength to walk through the trials.  When we fall, we will rise and show the power and glory of Jesus Christ.
