How can we find assurance in our faith during hard times?

In times of trouble, believers can find assurance by reflecting on God's past faithfulness and the truths of the gospel. 1 Kings 17 illustrates how God provided for Elijah and the widow, reinforcing that God's promise sustains us. In Hebrews 10:22, we are instructed to draw near 'with a true heart in full assurance of faith.' Our faith isn't based on our circumstances but on God's unwavering character and the fulfilled work of Christ. This assurance leads to a deeper intimacy with God as we rely on His grace amidst trials.
