All of us walk through difficult times. Jesus himself said it, “In this world you will have trouble…” (John 16:33b). No one gets out of this unscathed. But Jesus goes on: “but take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). In this study we look at what the Bible has to say on discerning the presence and purpose of God in our pain.
