The Christian Life with Colline: To Move from Trials to Triumph, Focus on God’s Plan
By: Colline Goulbourne, Evangelizing Servant of God
Every day brings its share of challenges—problems, trials, and unexpected hurdles. Yet these aren’t roadblocks but stepping-stones. God uses every struggle to stretch us beyond our comfort zones and guide us into His purpose for our lives.
Message
I don’t allow the problems and trials I face daily to stop or delay me from the work God has for me on earth. I’m not worried about those obstacles; instead, I fix my eyes on the plans He has for me. In the midst of struggles, problems, and trials, God pushes me forward, leading me into greatness for His glory.
It’s not only when we’re free from difficulties that God wants to use us—but right in the heart of the storm. He pours out His power and might, so we emerge victorious, strengthened by His presence.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) reminds us:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Be encouraged.
It’s not really about the struggles, problems, and trials themselves; it’s about where God is leading you as He uses those situations to propel you into His plans and His will. Trust Him in it all, and watch His purposes manifest for His glory. He will carry you from victory to greater victory, from glory to glory.
Conclusion
Don’t be discouraged by challenges—let them refine you and reveal God’s power in your life.

Meditate on God’s Word
Many Christians struggle daily to live according to God’s word. But we need daily nourishment. That is why it is important to read your bible daily; even if it is a few verses and meditate on them.
