1 Peter 5:10 (HCSB), "Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little."
In this chapter, Peter talks about how believers will suffer, just as Christ suffered. And, in the closing of this letter, Peter gives a blessing to the church reminding us all, once again, of the promise that Jesus has provided for us.
It doesn't matter what you have gone through. You may be a Christian with a miraculous testimony of how God saved you from a life of sin. You may be a Christian who grew up in a Christian home, accepted Christ at an early age and has always lived your life for Christ. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, Jesus understood them all.
Regardless of our struggle, we can claim the promise 1 Corinthians 10:13 (HCSB), "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it."
Take Refuge in your struggle remembering that Jesus knows what you are going through and He will be there to go through it with you.
