Sooner or later we all have some trouble in life. We all have some trials and some tribulations. Everybody goes through times of testing. And not every storm shows up in the forecast. Some days we can wake up and think everything is going to be great. Before the day is over, we may be tested by all kinds of trouble we are not expecting.

    trouble is part of life, so we simply have to be ready for it. We need to have a planned response to trouble, because it is more difficult to get strong after trouble comes. It is better to be prepared by staying strong.

the first thing you need to do when trouble comes is pray, "God help me stay emotionally stable." Do not let your emaotions overwhelm you. the next thing you need to do is trust God.  The instant that fears rises up, pray.

Stay emotionally stable, trust God, and pray. Then while you are waiting for God to answer, simply keep doing good. Keep your commitment. Do not stop serving the Lord just because you have a problem. The greatest time in the world to keep your commitments in God is in the midst of diffulty ad adversity. when the devil sees that trials and tribulations wont stop you, he will stop troubling you for a while.

To be prepared for the next time you find yourself in a difficult situation, practice saying" I am going to be faithful to God, and God is going to give me double for my trouble. Satan, you thought you were going to hurt me, but I am going to get a double blessing, because I am oe who diligently seeks the Lord."
