It shakes us to the core and reminds us of who we are. It leads us down the corridors of unnamed fears, unlimited ways to worry, and renewed self-doubt. It makes an enormous effort to distract us in every negative way possible, and all the while, pounds away at our thread of hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-762333\">This short verse from Romans suggests we might take another view though.\u00a0 What if we faced trouble with its only antidote, prayer?

They might suggest you just need rest or counseling. They may be puzzled by your behavior. They may be, but you recognize that trouble doesn\u2019t have the last word. You have an advocate, a defender, a champion. You will not handle one single trouble all on your own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-762333\">You believe in the hope you have as a child of God, knowing you have a direct prayer line, knowing God sees you right where you are.
