How to Trust God When You Don’t Like the Changes in Your Life with Pastor Rick Warren
Strategies for Stressful Times
WHAT TO REMEMBER
1. CHANGE : “As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and
heat, winter and summer, day and night.” Genesis 8:22 (NLT)
There is no growth without change
There is no change without loss
There is no loss without grief
There is no grief without pain
2. CHANGE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD, BUT GOD
“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV)
3. GOD’S PURPOSE IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE IS TO
___________________________________________________ “We know that God causes EVERYTHING to work together for the good of
those who love him and are called to his purpose for them. For God knew in
advance, who would come to him, and he chose them TO BECOME LIKE HIS
SON.” Romans 8:28-29 (NLT)
“Endurance builds character and character produces hope.” Romans 5:4
4. GOD CAN USE US EVEN CHANGE ____________________ “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is
now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
5. EVERY CHANGE IS ________________________________ “The purpose of these troubles is to test your faith as fire tests how genuine gold
is. Your faith is more precious than gold, and by passing the test, it gives praise,
glory, and honor to God.” 1 Peter 1:7 (GW)
WHAT TO DO WHEN I’M STRESSED BY CHANGES
1. INVEST MORE TIME: “Don’t you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, and he created everything
on this earth? And he never grows tired or weary . . . Instead, he gives strength
to those who are weary and worn out; and he gives power to the weak. Even
young people become exhausted and want to give up. BUT those who trust and
wait on the Lord will find new strength, flying high like eagles. They will run and
not grow weary. They’ll keep going and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 (NLT)
2. ASK GOD TO HELP ME: “God let the people of Israel see his mighty ACTIONS, but he revealed his WAYS
to Moses.” Psalm 103:7
“If you need wisdom—just ask God for it! God is generous and he’ll gladly tell
you what you need.” James 1:5 (NLT)
3. INSTEAD OF ASKING “WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?”
ASK: “I’ve LEARNED the secret of being content in any and every situation, no matter
what happens. I can live when I have more than I need or when I don’t have
enough. I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives
me.” Philippians 4:12-13
4. FOCUS ON: “I have loved you with an everlasting LOVE.” Jeremiah 31:3
“The WORD of God shall stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8 (NLT)
“His PLANS endure forever; his purposes last eternally.” Psalm 33:11
5. KEEP TELLING GOD: “The righteous man does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what might
happen. For he is settled in his mind that God will take care of him.” Psalm 112:7
“Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid! And even if enemies
attack me from all sides, I will still trust God!” Psalm 27:3
