Life is unpredictable from one moment to the next. Most have a difficult time adjusting to conflict and chaos. If we're honest, we believe our life experiences would be better if we felt secure. What if I told you life is up and down. There will be trials and triumphs; nothing is certain. However, we are safe in Jesus! The good news is God will carry you through the most intense, brutal, chaotic periods of your life. You have already won! Now, the bible is a God-inspired word. I refuse to sit here at my computer as I put this together for you and lie by telling you it is easy to believe. No, it isn't when you have been the object of your faith instead of God. Then there is something called human nature, and sometimes it fogs our vision if we aren't careful or when we're just having a "human" moment. 

It's tough when your child gets arrested and incarcerated; it's tough when your teenage daughter ends up pregnant, it's tough when everyone passes judgment on you, it's tough when you're constantly abused in every imaginable way, it's tough when you have no peace, it's tough when you hate yourself, it's tough when you lose the roof over your head, it's hard when you've lost a loved one, it's tough when you messed up again, it's tough when you're sick, it's tough when you have to care for an aging parent, it's tough when you're persecuted as a Christian, it's tough when your the oddball and all alone, it's tough when you reap the consequences of bad decision making, it's tough when you caught your girlfriend in bed with someone else, it's tough when your county is at odds impacting your entire community and house. Life is rough! Nevertheless, you must learn to take your foot off the gas and foot the brakes by giving your problems to Jesus. He cares for you, and He will carry the burden when you can't. 

Remember, He will never put more on you than you can handle. You will overcome it because you've already won! When you look to Jesus for help, you will find just what you need multiplying as overflow. "How do I do that," you may ask? Let the bottom fall out!
