Read John 16:33.

Pray the following:

• Thank the Lord for this promise. There is help is learning that what you experience isn’t uncommon or unexpected.

• Express your troubles to the Lord. What disturbs you right now, big or small? Cast those anxieties on the Lord because He cares for you.

• Ask God for help entrusting those to Him.

• Thank God for Jesus, who experienced trouble. We can take heart because we have One that has gone before us.

• Thank God that Jesus has overcome the world, and that, in Christ, we too will overcome the world.
