Help in the Bible: Hebrews 2:18
When we experience suffering or setbacks, we can know that Jesus understands what we're going through. Jesus can make the remarkable claim to have actually walked in our shoes; in our lives, we won't run into any temptation or trial that Jesus himself didn't experience as well. It's a great comfort to know that our God not only sympathizes with us, but knows exactly what we are going through. He's been there!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Killer Storm - #8145
Most of my life I have been trying to be a messenger of a warning that God has given to all of us—a killer storm that we cannot escape. ”Man is destined to die once,” the Bible says, “and after that to face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Because we’ve all broken God’s laws and we’ve hijacked the running of our lives. We all face the storm of God’s judgment—certain spiritual death—unless we get out in time through the escape route God Himself provided.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Storm Preparations
Storms are a fact of everybody's life. If it's calm now, you can be sure that somewhere up ahead there's a storm. ... The question is are you ready for the time when things start spinning out of control around you and inside of you? Since we know we have to make it through life's storms, we need to know we've got what it takes to make it through the crises that have sunk so many other people.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Tougher Than the Tornado
There are some of life's hits that threaten to blow away everything we've depended on as well. A divorce, a disease, a disaster, or a disappointment can do that. A death can sure send everything spinning. We know that most of what matters to us is something we can lose, and if and when we do, there is sometimes not much left but the pieces.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Increasing Your Bench Press - #8136
... that may explain the heavy load that you’re having to lift right now. It’s all about increasing your bench press. Here’s God’s strength program for His players. It says, “Blessed are those whose strength is in You. They go from strength to strength ‘til each appears before God” (Psalm 84:5, 7). How does God build you to a spiritual champion?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Cold Nights and Rich Colors - #8113
Actually the way God changes leaves turns out to be a lot like the way He changes people. Some of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met are people who’ve been through a lot of cold nights.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Feeling Helpless - #8101
A lot of things are out of our control. They always have been. Actually, we only think we’re in control any time. We don’t run this universe. We don’t even decide if we take another breath, but things are never out of God’s control.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Surprise in the Storm - #8087
The storm that looked like it was going to destroy them actually made them stronger.” Oh wait. That’s not just trees—that’s us. The Bible says, “We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us” (Romans 5:3-5).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Killer Storm and a Calm Captain - #4336
A calm captain who has been through these fearful storms before, who knows everything will be okay at the end of the day, who has brought so many others safely through. Now, that's what makes the difference when it feels as if the storm is going to sink you. If you belong to Jesus Christ, you have such a Captain! That's why the writer of "Amazing Grace" could write: "Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come. 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home."
