For every dismal encounter you face in life, faith is the grip that provides you with the assurance that hope is ahead. “For without faith, it is impossible to please God.” It is for this reason that most Christians stay grounded, calm, and hopeful when going through their trials, testing, and tribulations because they know that the Almighty is the season changer and no season will last forever.
