b'The betrayal of a close friend, a sickness, a crime against us, the death of a family member, natural disasters, family difficulties, financial woes so many things can put us in the middle of a whirlwind of emotions.\\nWhether we\\u2019re feeling overwhelming sadness over a loss, anger as to why it happened, anxiety about what the future holds\\u2014or a combination of all three\\u2014where can we turn?\\nIn Christ, we can cling to and rest in some amazing promises as we go through the storms that come in a world broken by sin and death. And here\\u2019s the great news: God will never break His promises to us.\\nPromise #1: Jesus is always with you\\u2014even during hard times. \\nPromise #2: Nothing can happen to you that will separate you from God\\u2019s love.\\nPromise #3: The suffering we face does not have the last word. Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave. He is the Victor over sin and death. Our faith is in the promise that the same King who died for sin and rose from the grave will one day return to make all things new\\u2014free from sin, death, and suffering. God\\u2019s people in Christ will live forever with Him, and suffering will be no more.\\nBecause of the good news of these promises, we can rest\\u2014even as we grieve the tragic things we face\\u2014because our Savior is with us now and will dwell with us forever. \\u2022 Melissa Yeagle\\n\\u2022 Why do God\\u2019s promises give us hope even in the darkest of times? \\n\\u2022 Read Hebrews 4:14-16. Does Jesus understand our suffering?\\n\\u2022 If Jesus understands our suffering, is there any emotion we can\\u2019t bring to Him? \\n\\u2022 If you\\u2019re going through a hard time right now, who are trusted adults you can talk with\\u2014such as pastors, youth leaders, parents, or counselors? \\nWho can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? Romans 8:35 (CSB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\n1 John 5:14-15'
