Whispers in the Wind
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.—John 3:8 (NIV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.—James 1:2-3 (NIV)
Whatever trial you are going through, know there is something to be gained. Times when you can’t see your way out of a problem are actually the best times to trust and believe. Know that there is nothing too hard, painful or devastating that Jesus does not identify with. When you bring your suffering to Him in prayer, He feels your pain as you feel His comfort.
Lord Jesus, on days when I feel tested, I can go on because You are with me.

In that day the Lord Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people.—Isaiah 28:5 (NIV)
Therefore say: “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.”—Ezekiel 11:16 (NIV)
