Transformed by Trouble

"God uses problems to draw you closer to himself. The Bible says, 'The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit' (Psalm 34:18 NLT). Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days, when your heart is broken and you turn to God alone. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to-God prayers."

Gosh, is this ever true! Can you think of times when you grew closer to God by going thru problems in your life? I know I can!!
