Many times in life we go through some difficult situations when we give up hope in life. Since we do not know the future, we easily lose hope and lose ourselves in worries.
If we know God and understand all His words deeply, then we will never lose hope. No matter how much trouble we face in life, God will never abandon us. God says in His word that a mother may abandon her child but He will never abandon us.
So when difficult times come in our lives, we will look to God and live by His grace. Sometimes we will not understand why this situation came to our lives or what the future may hold. But we will trust in God because the plan He has for us is for our good.
