Troubles I have Faced, But God…Has Kept Me!
We close out the month of June with Devotionals written by our GBFC Youth. We pray your hearts were encouraged by our writers and their courage to share. This is only a snippet of what our Lord Jesus Christ is working in the hearts of our youth. May the Word of God and their devotional continue to bless you!
SCRIPTURE: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Psalm 34:19
Everyone goes through troubles and how you persevere through them is what makes you stronger. During High School I had many ups and downs, and it would have been easy to give up and lose faith, but God has kept me and helped me not to lose sight of His promises. Thank You, God, for always being by my side.
PRAYER: Dear God, let anyone who faces trouble come to You. It’s easy to try to fight it on your own, but Your word says that we are never alone. God, I thank You for every battle You have put me through and helped me through. In Jesus Name, Amen
By Bro. Gabriel (Gabe) McArthur
