how do you cope with trials?

Do you sometimes feel very alone in your battles? I have many times.We need to try to learn what are the available tools to overcome this sense of isolation which weakens our resolve and warps our vision of victory.God has provided means to that end.What are they?

Altough I have a lot to learn,I have found a few practical principles that help me to regain perspective and strenght. The Bible gives us examples.Jesus retired to a private place to pray.What did He pray for?He went away from the voices and noises of the world.So that He could hear more clearly the voice of God.He opened His heart to His Father and shared His burdens ,fears and tears.Without false guilt,without shame,knowing that God listened to Him with love and compassion.He “threw himself” upon the mercy and love of His heavenly Father acknowledging His helpnessness.Let us not be ashamed to be weak before our God.

More to come.
