The Bible says: 2 Timothy 4:18
“The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom: to Him be the glory forever”
The apostle Paul approached the end of his life in a prison cell. He could have felt sorry for himself. But instead, he encouraged his friends to trust in God, even when his own circumstances looked very dismal. How was he able to do this?
Peace is the last emotion in the world Paul should have been feeling, but the apostle was unshakably secure in his faith because of his profoundly intimate relationship with the Lord. Despite Paul’s sufferings, the one foundational truth he knew was that God’s supernatural power, wisdom, and peace—though impossible to comprehend rationally—were able to see him through the trials of life.
The same is true for you. God is with you—He is operating in you and in your situation in a manner far beyond your ability to understand. And the promise of His sovereign care—regardless of your circumstances—is all you really need to make it through whatever you’re facing. So trust Him to sustain you as He did Paul.
