GOD IS NEVER ABSENT
God warned us through his word that in the world we would have affliction, he never said that everything would be rosy as we commonly say because he warned us to prepare ourselves that we were going to encounter afflictions and tribulations but he has also promised us to trust because he has conquered the world.
The presence of a storm in your life does not mean that God is absent. His perfect peace will keep your mind and heart as God has promised and it will be done.
Philippians 4: 7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus
RVR1960
Most people always when they hear about peace they relate it to "lack of problems" they believe that everything is perfect and there is nothing to worry about, but peace does not mean that there are no problems. Peace is to feel it even in the middle of any storm.
The peace of God frees us from overwhelm and despair when the problems are when we do not physically find a solution for the problems then the peace of God clings us and we can feel his love and protection in the middle of the process.
We must guard our hearts and our thoughts submitting them to the Lord and grow in the conviction that the Lord is really with us.
