How do we find assurance in our faith during difficult times?

Assurance in faith, especially during trials, is crucial for Christians. The believer's confidence does not rest on personal achievements but on the character and promises of God. Job, amidst his profound suffering, confidently states, 'Thou knowest that I am not wicked' (Job 10:7), illustrating a deep-seated assurance that only comes from a right relationship with God. This assurance is further fortified by the knowledge that God actively sustains and keeps His people through adversity. Believers are called to remember God’s past faithfulness as a foundation for trusting Him in future trials, which not only strengthens their faith but also enables them to endure difficulties with hope.
