Isaiah 35: 4-7a
Say to those who have toiled long and are growing tired and to those who have become afraid;
God will come with healing and restore your land. He will heal both the people and the land!

Psalm 125
Those who trust in God will never be defeated in their battles, their trials, the problems they face or any crisis. While they are going through trials it may not look like they are being delivered, but they are!
All the time, God surrounds and protects us. 
The time will come when God will take away the evil and those who are righteous through Christ will remain and have peace at last!

Jeremiah 17: 7-8
Our suffering doesn't glorify God, but our attitude during suffering does. Are you rooted in love?
Some receive the miracle of being delivered from trials, but others have the miracle of staying loving and trusting while going through the trials. That defeats the devil, keeping the faith during trial, staying a loving person during trial.
