In times of perplexity and distress remember the works of the Lord God in our own life. It is written they overcame by the word of their testimony and by the Blood of the Lamb. We build our personal faith and trust from the wealth of our own experiences and of those who testify of God goodness in their lives. If we continue to strive for the maturity of the faith, we will always have cause to give praise and to shout for Joy even when our emotions are in opposition.
