when the going gets tough

If you’re a believer, you can take heart: you’re between a Rock and a hard place.

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and I have conquered it for you.]” — John 16:33, The Amplified Bible
