It occurs at different times and various ways, but it eventually happens.<\/p>\n<p>Scripture indicates that God sends the rain to Christian farmers as well as unbelieving farmers.

However, the difference is in Who goes through our experiences with us.<\/p>\n<p>God did not promise our life would be pain free. He <em>did declare that<\/em> He would never leave us or forsake us. In fact, it is often in our trials that we experience our deepest levels of communion with God. Don&#8217;t be surprised when difficulties come your way. Don&#8217;t be bewildered when God allows you to suffer a crisis. We must <em>all<\/em> endure them.
