How do you deal with stress and trials? Some people throw themselves into work. Others get down in despair, and depression over whelms them. Others get angry, and frustration takes them on a daily Journey of outbursts and everything hanging on a nerve. Many people of faith internalize all of it looking for answers within. They think somehow if they fix what's wrong in themselves then they will understand why they are suffering trials. Well the answer is not inside us as much as it is God's redemptive power. He can get us through. He can do the impossible. He is our savior. Jesus saves! There is a great article on this very subject based on the book "The Christian Life" by Sinclair Ferguson http://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/tchividjian/where-to-look-when-youre-in-trouble.html
I found this article to be right on when it comes to how many Christians deal with trials today. It is worth a read weather you choose to read it on a coffee brake or at night before bed. I urge you to take the time and chew on it for a while. by Virginia Toussaint
