55 Biblical Affirmations to Endure Hardships

Please share with others!

Christianity is hardwork. In difficult situations we are purified and revealed as true sons and daughters of a Holy God. We must endure trials and hard situations, while at the same time honoring, obeying, and worshipping God.

We cannot skip the process of pain. The Bible is littered with biblical characters that were tested and endured hardships before they were released into their destiny. Think of Joseph, Abraham, David, and Jesus. Yes even Jesus went through trials.

Jesus left us words to console us as we go through the difficulties of life: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:3 

During trial we have the opportunity to grow in faith, holiness, and strengthen our spiritual muscles, but we can only do this by CONSUMING and OBEYING THE WORD DAILY. The word will produce spiritual strength within us. “So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

This list of biblical affirmations are a great way to digest God’s word as medicine. Struggling with fear? Use a scripture on peace as medicine. Struggling with loss? Use a redemptive and restorative scripture to strengthen you. Ultimately, there is a cure for your soul within bible verses for everything you are struggling with!
