INTRODUCTION
It would, of course, be great if life was lived on those mountain top experiences. We would all love to stay there. But life is a dynamic journey with ups and downs including bumps and bruises coupled with victories of varying degrees. God is there to walk with us in all phases of life - the difficult as well as the celebrations.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Psalm 142:1-7
Jesus came as a light into the darkness! No matter how dark and dangerous this life gets, God never forsakes his children. Take your burdens, needs, and hurts to him and he will care for you as a perfect & loving Father to imperfect children.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Psalm 91:9-16
We serve a big God! He has a plan to get you through anything life can throw at you. And he wants to use the trials you come through to encourage and give testimony to those who are still in the thick of it. Remember, many times what God has saved you from, is what he will call you to as one able to speak wisdom into apparent chaos.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would comfort you when you need comfort, encourage you when you need encouragement, strengthen you when you’re weak, and provide for you in your time of need.
