Whenever you are feeling like the weight of the world is too heavy, and feel the world is against you, remember this verse:
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 (NIV)
Jesus was telling his disciples that they will be prosecuted for their teachings, that people will kick them out of the synagogues, that they will be mocked. He tells them that they will face hard times in this world. There is good news though, he will not leave them. Through him, they can do anything. He has come the world and has conquered it. Through him, you can handle anything that comes your way. A little bit of prayer and a ton of faith, Jesus will always be by your side. That gives me great comfort.
