BIBLE STUDY: DISTRESS (2 CHRONICLES 20:1-30, JOB 3:1-26).

  Distress is defined as a state of mind which involves anxiety,
pain, sorrow, affliction, torment and turtore.. Distress is so interwoven with biblical stories and it reflects into the lives of Christians too.
  When Distress sets in, that is when a Christian's level of Faith is tested. Leaders face distress and their response to these events will tell how good the leader is. A rose cannot blossom if it doesn't pass through the thorns of the petals. It doesn't show its freshness without that time of suffering and distress(passing through the thorns).

  What should God's children do in times of Distress? 

1. They must cry to God for help through fasting and fervent prayers. 

2. Thank God for the things he has done previously. 

3. Challenge God and remind him of who he is. 

4. Tell God to be the judge in any battle of life we face. 

5. Follow God's plan, listen to him and trust him to deliver us. 

6. Hold on to God, believe in him and sing his praises always.
