What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

I am a firm believer in that phrase. I never really thought much about it but recently I have been thinking about it. Trials and tribulations are put in our lives so that we may burn brighter and stronger for Christ. It is times when others see us suffering that we need to be aware of our actions and how we behave when we are being tested and tried. If we were never allowed to be tested or tried we would not be stronger in our walk with Christ. Think about it for a minute..often times when our lives are running smoothly ( at least I know its true for me) we tend to put God on a shelf but the moment we are tested we beg and plead with Him to take our suffering away or we tend to complain and whine. We are told to bear patiently the burdens and trials that we are given. We do not have to go through them alone. Psalms 55:22 says Cast your burdens upon the Lord,He will sustain you, He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
Let us cast our burdens upon Him today, let us put our trust fully and wholly in Him. If we try to find comfort and help from other sources, it might last for a little while but eventually we will be right back where we started. May God bless and strengthen you this day.
