HELP!!!
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials". James 1:2. During my study I found out that "falling into" might be better translated "encountering". It is obvious that the suffering believers were not overtaken by some sinful activity or temptation, rather they were being exploited and slandered and litigated by the society or men. For us: may be the loss of a job, a divorce, trouble with children, severe financial strain, illness or death in the family, or relational problems over which we have no control. Modern day notion that when you become a Christian, life will be easier, all problems will disappear and will live happily ever after is not true. I know my friend "life is tough" and is not a bed of roses. My suggestion to you is "Call upon God's resources in your trials". I have a poster with me which I bought from a Christian Store and it reads " A prayer to be said when the world has gotten you down, and you feel rotten and you're too doggone tired to pray, and you're in a big hurry, and besides, you're mad at everybody..."HELP!". Maaan, you don't have to pray a long "Old King James Version Prayer", Just tell Him "HELP"! Y'all hear me?
