Christians love clichés. God said it. I believe it. That settles it. You're never safer than when you're in God's will. Let go and let God Where God guides, God provides. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it You can't outgive God. God helps those who help themselves When God closes a window, He opens a door. God doesn’t give you more than you can handle. Your setback is God’s way of setting you up for your comeback! The intent may be good, but many Christian clichés are simply trite sayings for troubled souls. Why? Some Christians seem to think that if you are troubled, struggling, and having a rough patch that there is something wrong with you. To be sure, once we get to heaven every day will be a good day. In the meantime, Jesus was clear in John 16:33 that, “In this world, you will have trouble.” It is not a sin to be troubled; although Jesus never sinned, He was troubled. We read in John 13:21, “Jesus was troubled in his spirit”.
