You live in troubled times and I shared that troubles would increase just before I returned to earth. Peter exhorted believers not to be surprised when they had firey trials. No one likes to anticipate trouble, but I also said that in the world you will have tribulation. I told you that the one thing that will cheer you when you go through trials is the fact that I have overcome the world. Focus on that fact when your trials seem overwhelming.
Not everyone knows the "rest of the story." The rest of the story is that there will be a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no more trouble. Meditate on that truth when your troubled time comes. Think of how great life will be when you do not have to worry about temptations, tests, trials, and troubles. Set your affections on the things that are above, not the things on this earth and those high thoughts will get you through those low times in your life.
