How to Find Peace in Trials and Overcome Setbacks

Research shows that over one in every two people feels completely stressed out, exhausted, lonely, and anxious. Whether you’re facing a battle you feel you cannot win, are facing a hopeless situation, or have had a major setback in life, I need you to know this: It is not over until God says it is over. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He still provides. And He can make a way where there seems to be no way.

This page will help you with the hard questions: Where is God when it hurts? How do I overcome the worry that keeps me up at night? How do I find the strength to forgive when bitterness feels justified? Today, shift your eyes from the size of your storm to the stature of your Savior. If Jesus is in your boat, you will be okay.

God’s Provision

I don’t know what you are going through at the moment or what you need, but I believe that God is able to make a way. If you’re in need or are facing a desperate situation, know this: God is your supernatural provider.

God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

I will never fail you. I will never abandon you. (Hebrews 13:5)

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Hebrews 4:16)

Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. (Psalms 37:25)

Victory

Are you facing a difficult time in your life? It may seem like there is no way out, hope may be fading, and it may seem like the battle is impossible to overcome. Yes, we face storms and get knocked down, but in Jesus there is victory, breakthrough, and triumph.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” (Isaiah 43:2)

1. Overcoming Storms in Life

The world is currently a scary place. There is so much uncertainty. Many feel like they are stuck in the middle of a raging storm. Today, I want to let you know: If you have Jesus on your side, you can overcome any storm.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear…” (Psalm 46:1-2)

2. Setbacks in Life

You may have had a setback in your life. Today I have a simple message for you: No matter what you are facing or where you find yourself, I need you to know that God can take your setback and turn it into an even greater comeback.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

3. Healing and Breaking Free from Sin

Whether you’re sick, tired, broken, or bound by sin, God can set you free. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He still heals, delivers, and sets free. So, put your hope in Him today.

I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)

Worry

Are you anxious? Worried? Overwhelmed? Research shows that more than one in every two people feels stressed out, exhausted, and anxious. I do not know where you stand today, but I know that you can bring your troubles to Jesus. 

Cast all your anxiety on God because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
