Your life CAN be strengthened through any event, be it good or bad. If you believe that the Lord is sovereign over all creation, you can find peace in the understanding that He has a plan for every event in your life. In his message today, Pastor David encourages you to surrender to the Lord in times of trouble. You won't be able to control the situation any more than you'll understand the potential outcomes. It is in your surrendering that the Holy Spirit will work to strengthen your faith.
