What can we do in the midst of Fiery Trials?

Trials:
Financial problems
Illness
Family problems
Death
Persecution
Stress at the job
It is a given as we live in this world we are going to have trials.  Sometimes we get a lot of them all at once.  I have been through them many times. As the end times approach us, it is not going to get any easier.
1 Peter 4:12
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.

James 1:2-5

Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have it's perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing. If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to us liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

How can we get some relief?

1.Trust God and let go. We can't figure everything out. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
2. Prayer is a time to release to our creator. If you are too low, have someone else pray for you. If you don't have the strength, just say  "God I need help."
3. Hold on to Gods promises. Hebrews 13:5,6 He will never leave us, nor forsake us.  God will never leave us alone, even when we walk away.
4. Praise the Lord in the midst of your storms. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, oh Lord, and I shall be healed. Save me and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.
Thank Jesus, that He has provided ways to insulate us in our many trials. May His love surround you; and His arms hold you today.

Much love coming your way from Christian Community Center!  This is part of my husband's sermon, and a few of my added inspirations. :)
