We face problems, afflictions, agony, sufferings, and hardships in our daily life. Nobody in this world is without a problem of one or other. 

We need strength, power, faith, endurance, and patience, to overcome all. Sometimes everything seems to go against our desires, wishes and even prayers.

 Obviously, a number of questions crop up our mind.
  •       Whether the trials are the result of sin committed by us?
  •    Why does God allow trials, worries, anxieties, and difficulties?
  •  Should we blame God and turn from Him?
  •  Can troubles and suffering actually make us better and have faith in   God?
  •  As humans is it possible to faithfully endure all our difficulties?
  •   What are the solutions the Bible give us to help overcome our problems?
  •   How can I trust God? Will He speak to me? etc

God wants you to have a confidence in His strengthening power, no matter what the situation or the circumstances goes. Even when you are weak, HE can be strong in you. This strength comes to those who have a strong urge to follow God's path and His words.
  •         "How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee."Psalm 84:5

And God wants to give you His strength, in an abundant supply. But God's ways and thoughts are higher than man's –
