trials

1 Thessalonians 3:3
so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them.

Do not be afraid of the trails you face today for God Himself does not promise a life without them. In fact in some verses in the Bible we are to expect them.

2 Thessalonians 1:4
Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

When you find yourself going through trials thank our Father for letting you go through them and think about what your life would be like had you not been through the abuse and the pain you went through. If you had gone through it where would you be today? Would you be the same person? Would you have the same compassion then as you do today? Instead of burying ourselves in the pain of yesterday look at these few verses and praise our Father for helping us through them and praise Him for the ones yet to come.

James 1:2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

1 Peter 1:6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

I do pray that this has helped you to look with love towards our Father in heaven. So if you havn't yet cried out those words. Jesus save me!!! Do so for even now even through your trials and your pain He will help you prevail. God does not promise us a life without trials but He does promise to be with us through them. So do not let satan turn you away yet let Jesus bring you closer.
