CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

John 16:33

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I chose these verses because, this week, I needed to read something in the Bible about coping with frustrations.  And, my frustrations were minor, when I think about the home fires, the prejudices, the poverty, the joblessness, the family deaths, and life struggles that many are coping with.  We all get frustrated, no matter what our positions in life.  At such times, it is good to think of God having our six, being there for us. God knows we will have tribulations.  But He is there for us.  He has overcome the world and he can certainly help us overcome what we are dealing with.  He asks us to fear not.  He tells us that he will strengthen us.  He says he will hold us in his righteous hand.  We can think on these comforts during frustrating times.  It may not answer our questions immediately, nor take away all the pain, but knowing that he watches out for us, loves us, and has plans for us, certainly helps.
