Bible Verses For Encouragement And Comfort During Hard Times %

The world where we are living today is a temporal place and very soon we shall leave it. But as long as we live here, we have to encounter many incidents throughout our lives. Sometimes we will become happy and sometimes we will face hardships and we start to think about our problems too much.

But we should be happy because we have a great God who is with us and he loves to give us strength to overcome our hard times. The word of God is the perfect medicine for all our sicknesses. It has the power to give us joy and happiness in times of trial.

In this world, none will show us the right path of our life except the word of God. So the following scriptures will help us to overcome our hard times that may appear big trouble to us but after reading the scripture we will get comfort and courage to live a peaceful life.

The Lord is our hiding place and we have hope in him. He loves us and thinks for us. So, in times of difficulties, we need to approach him with prayer and a pure heart. The Lord wants to speak with us through his scripture but we are so busy with our works.

Sometimes God speaks with us by bringing hard times in our lives. In such times we must come closer to him and he will strengthen us by his righteousness.
