It’s not easy to trust God in hard times. One thing I do know, though, is that God is always faithful and he does not change. His character and his nature is always good, even when life is not. Sometimes though, it’s hard even to have the words to pray when you are in a difficult circumstance.

A List of Prayer for Trusting God In Hard Times
