Everyone experiences disappointment or sadness to some degree. In Psalm 13, David demonstrated what it means to trust God in tough times. Feeling forgotten, forsaken, sorrowful, and subdued, David cried out for God’s consideration and illumination. As he prayed, his perspective changed, and he was able to rejoice—even though his circumstances remained the same. Alistair Begg teaches that when we face difficult times, we must resist self-pity, trusting that God knows what’s best for us and can use even our hard experiences for good.

Having been paralyzed for close to four (4) years now, I struggle quite a bit and many tears have flowed...I have never been closer to the Father than I have been these last few years..I trust his reasoning and if my condition benefits another person in anyway...So be it...My children certainly don't take as many things for granted and I tell them that if the Son of God can endure a whipping and nailing to the Cross for me, then I can handle anything He asks of me...Great sermon as always, Pastor Begg.

The analogy of the father teaching his child to rest easy in the darkness was beautiful

Shoutout to everyone who’s been going through a trial for YEARS and is trying to come to peace with a probable lifetime of struggle and anguish. May we stay focused on the glory that’s to come, when this life is properly seen for as short as it really was.

Amen! I was taken down with immune system Dysfunctions, in 1997. I was 47 yrs. old; still young and a healthcare worker. I had Christian background, in churches since a child, thought I was saved and, knew my life wasn’t right. This time began many years of pain, struggle and heartache. It also brought me back to my knees (not literal, as I couldn’t kneel anymore). Life is still hard for me, but each day I have assurance Christ is with me, I trust Him more and more! 🙏🧡🙏

Alistair Begg is absolutely my chosen pastor, even though it's only online and on the radio. No one speaks to the spirit and the heart with the words of God like he does. Thank you Alistair, for ALL that you do.

Many years ago in seminary one of my professors said "when you find yourself in the valley never make a major decision until God puts you back on the mountain top." Love this...
