Christian Quotes About Tough Times
The basic premise of religion– that if you
live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most
morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the
experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture. — Timothy J. Keller
Pain insists upon being attended to. God
whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our
pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world. ― C.S. Lewis
The Christian life is not a constant high. I
have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with
tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’ — Billy Graham
Life is not a straight line leading from one
blessing to the next and then finally to heaven. Life is a winding and troubled
road. Switchback after switchback. And the point of biblical stories like
Joseph and Job and Esther and Ruth is to help us feel in our bones (not just
know in our heads) that God is for us in all these strange turns. God is not
just showing up after the trouble and cleaning it up. He is plotting the course
and managing the troubles with far-reaching purposes for our good and for the
glory of Jesus Christ. ― John Piper
