HOW TO GET THROUGH

WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

2 Cor 4:7-10 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

(Vs. 8 …perplexed, but not in despair;)

4.  Paul knew God was with him. 

(vs. 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.)
