FINDING Joy WHEN life is HARD: often hard, but the Book of Philippians shows us that we can find in

Can we truly Find Joy When Life is Hard? The answer is a resounding "Yes!" I know that answer is true because I've been there before and could be there again one day. When life is hard, we might find joy in and through our work, our accomplishments, and our friends. In the end, though, we can only find true Joy in a personal relationship that lasts into eternity in Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul's letter to the fledgling church in Philippi is a book about finding Joy in the hardest - and sometimes darkest -times. Our times of struggle can include or lead to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. We even struggle to maintain "normalcy" in our lives. We wonder if we're truly strong enough to press on towards the goal, whatever the "goal" might be. Finding Joy When Life is Hard is a Bible study that will take you through the book of Philippians, walking with Paul as he experienced the same kinds of human struggles 2,000 years ago as we do today. When we have a relationship with Jesus, we can truly do "all things through Him who strengthens me", Philippians 4:13. Finding Joy When Life is Hard is written for you. Even if you've never considered looking into the Christian faith, perhaps because you believe it's a "crutch," please take the time to walk through this study. God has all the answers that you may be looking for. Will it be easy or quick? Most likely, no; however, life is rarely about the destination (ultimately it is in Heaven with an eternal and loving God), but more importantly about the journey - the journey to true contentment and wholeness in Christ. God wants you whole. Finding Joy When Life is Hard could be your first step toward that goal. Take that step... today!
