This podcast is all about changing on our path to becoming better disciples of Jesus Christ. In today’s episode of Changing, Donald discusses an important subject we often face - feelings of anger and resentment while facing trials in life. 

Job was tested by Satan, and he faced many trials:

• As a result, he lost his house, animals, money, and health. However, he never denounces the Lord. 
• How many of us would falter and stop trusting the Lord? We often feel like God is punishing us for our mistakes.
• If you have problems in your life, don’t assume the issues are because of you. Instead, as we draw closer to God, he’ll show us our weaknesses and make us stronger and wiser. 
• You aren’t drifting away from God; you’re drawing closer to him.

Why do we assume that God is punishing us? 

• God knows exactly what we’re going through - he knows everything we’re facing.
• It doesn’t mean he’ll take all those problems away because he wants us to grow.
• God is allowing us to develop and struggle to become stronger and wiser once we get through it.
