"Truly, in our hearts we believed we would die. But this happened so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God, who raises people from the dead." ~2 Corinthians 1:9, NCV
Paul is writing to the believers in Corinth about the trials he endured in Asia. Through his story, it becomes clear that God did not call Christians to an easy life. We struggle through circumstances and situations, but not just because God wants us to suffer! As Paul says, those things "happen so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God".
Our position life isn't to be in control all of the time. It's to take whatever's thrown at us with the knowledge that we don't have to face it alone. If we did, we would fail, but with God, we can do anything. And we don't have to be afraid while we're at it, because we serve a God who loves us and who will do what's best for us.
