Are the bills stacking up while your bank account dwindles? Is
your marriage or your singleness a source of heartbreak? Are you
filled with anxiety because of health issues? Do you sometimes feel
like you're drowning and God is nowhere to be found? Do you wonder,
What in the world am I going to do? How am I going to make
it?
Trials roll in like waves, one after another, and
threaten to knock you off your feet. But instead of trying to stand
strong against your problems, maybe the answer is to be swept
away--not by your troubles, but by God. Overwhelmed by God and
Not Your Troubles is an invitation to rest and to fall into
God's love, goodness, grace, and forgiveness. Lift your tired eyes
from the crushing trials that lead you to despair, and fix your
eyes on the awesome power and mercy of the God who is greater. You
will experience the peace, contentment, and joy that can only be
found in Christ as you face your setbacks and heartaches with
renewed hope and strength from the Spirit.
