Count it all joy when you go through tests and tribulations. Do not allow distress or frustration to cause you to feel separated from the Lord; instead, rejoice and draw nearer to Him. Take courage in the fact that the enemy has been defeated and Jesus has won the victory for us!
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] John 16:33 (AMPC)
