What does the Bible say about being equipped for trouble?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ equips us for the trials of this world by giving us his promises and the Holy Spirit as our Comforter.

In John 16, Jesus concludes his last sermon before his crucifixion, emphasizing the importance of being prepared for the trials and tribulations of life. He speaks directly to the needs of his disciples and, by extension, to us, stating that he has shared these teachings to assure us that we will not be offended when difficulties arise. The key promises made by Christ include the sending of the Holy Spirit, our divine Comforter, who will guide us into all truth, which means understanding who Christ is and what he accomplished for us. Through the Holy Spirit, we receive comfort and strength to face trials in our pilgrimage in this world of sorrow, knowing that our suffering serves a greater purpose.
