God uses TROUBLEto teach us to TRUST Him.
TO BE BETTER AND NOT BITTER!
Three Unexpected Tools
![Page 12: Purpose driven life 3 - discipleship](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54927c86b47959384d8b4617/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TROUBLES or TRIALS are
not designed to HURT us,
they are designed to HELP
us.
God allows troubles to
happen to STRETCH our
faith.

“…troubles produce patience. And patience produces character..and
character produces hope.”
Romans 5:3-4

The goal of life is not
COMFORT.
Every problem has a
PURPOSE!

“They came to a garden called Gethsemane and Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Sit here while I pray.’…
DISTRESS and ANGUISH came over Him, and HE said, “The SORROW in MY HEART is so great that it almost
CRUSHES me.”
Mark 14:32-34

You’ve got to trust God
COMPLETELY
even when things look
terrible!

“Father,” He said, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from
Me. YET I WANT YOUR WILL, NOT MINE.”
Mark 14:36

Sharing of Testimonies. Share to somebody how a big
problem in your life has helped you grow in your spiritual
walk…
Application

Next time you get into troubles, don’t just ask, “why is this
happening?”, say:
“God is teaching me to trust Him. He is giving me the
opportunity to trust Him.”
