In 1 Peter 1 & 2, Peter addresses suffering and encourages us to stand firm in this temporary world. Even in the midst of despair, Peter encourages us to praise the Lord and trust Him for every outcome. He is our eternal Living Hope and His mercies are fresh every morning. Stay laser focused on Jesus. Even in pain, praise His glorious Name. Greater is He Who is in you, than he who is in this world. Reflect on God's gifts and blessings, despite troubling circumstances. Jesus will encourage us, strengthen us, comfort us, carry us, and is here with us in every moment. He is our eternal Cornerstone and we can stand on Him, our Firm Foundation, now - and for all eternity.
