1. Sometimes God allows challenges and sometimes He brings them, but you can know He’s always aware of them.

2. God uses challenges as part of His restoration process.
- “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” - Psalm 139:23-24

3. The key to handling future challenges is to learn how to process through present ones.
- “Then He went into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure and marveled. For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened. - Mark 6:51-52
