Transformed by Trouble: Finding Purpose in Hard Seasons

What if you problems aren’t punishments but part of God’s process? In this reflection, I’m learning (slowly) to see trouble through a different lens: as a tool God can use to shape character, deepen trust, and refine us into the likeness of Christ. Drawing from The Purpose Driven Life and Romans 8:28, this post explores how hardship can become holy ground, why suffering doesn’t have the final word, and the simple prayer I’m learning to pray in hard seasons is, “Lord, use this.”
