Many troubles and Distresses

You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
Will revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
-Psalm 71:20

It is hard to believe, and harder to see, but He is there, holding us as we go through our trials. No matter how hard or how far you've fallen, He can and will raise you up again. It may take time, and sacrifice, but the Lord will revive you again. Take comfort in the words of the psalmist. Let us trust in the character of our awesome God, knowing that He not only has the power, but also the love to revive us, restore us and grant us growth and blessing through our trials. He is with us always, and there to comfort us. Turn to Him in the midst of your trails, cry to Him and allow Him to comfort you. He loves you deeply.
