Whenever God takes us through the land of affliction, He will do two things through that affliction:

1) He will bring such healing that we will be able to forget the pain, and
2) He will make us fruitful from the painful experiences.

God does not waste our afflictions if we allow Him the freedom to complete the work in us. His desire is to create virtue that remains during the times of testing so that He can bring us into the place of fruitfulness in the very area of our testing. He has never promised to keep us from entering the valley of testing, but He has promised to make us fruitful in the valley.

You are going experience distress, belligerence and chaos, from time to time!   When you are in a valley of affliction, call upon God's Power (His Word) to work on your behalf.  Find yourself in His Word, and let the healing begin.

 

 "My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest"
