Trouble is always a constant in the world. Where there are people conflict will ensue. The troubles that we face as humans can range from interpersonal issues, to geopolitical conflicts, financial troubles, health problems and environmental issues. Trouble can spring up in just about any area of life. There are plenty of reasons to be depressed, but when we look to God's inspired word we find peace in the midst of our troubles.
"We are troubled on every side, yet NOT distressed; we are perplexed, but NOT in despair; persecuted, but NOT forsaken; cast down, but NOT destroyed." - 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
The Apostle Paul wrote that the power of the Holy Ghost was the secret to enduring hardship and trouble.
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." - 2 Corinthians 4:6
When we open ourselves to be filled with the Holy Ghost we are given the power to be able to deal with any calamity, or disaster. All we need is the power of God's Spirit in us, all we need is to glorify Him. Jesus is a ministry of miracles.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father has sent in my name, shall teach you all things; and bring to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:26-27
Jesus gave us an important tool to combat our troubled world. This is the gift of the Holy Ghost. We can all find peace and comfort in the midst of crisis by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. Let Jesus be your bridge over troubled waters. He offers peace of mind to any that will accept Him. Call on the Lord in your time of need and let the Holy Ghost be your strength and comforter.
