When Trouble Comes
When trouble came:
Jesus prayed:
"O Lord, let your will be done!"
And he overcame.
When trouble came:
Elijah fled.
He ran away and prayed:
"O Lord, I have had enough,
take away my life."
His ministry ended abruptly.
Just like that.
When trouble came:
John the Baptist lost his faith and committed a big blunder.
He sent messengers to query Jesus Christ: "Are you the Messiah, or should we expect another?"
Jesus was very angry and replied:"He is the least in the kingdom of God."
When trouble came:
David David sought solace in the Lord:"Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?"
David triumphed over his enemies.
When trouble comes:
"What do you do?
