When Life’s Great Trials Cast You Down

Hymn: When Life’s Great Trials Cast You Down

Lyrics: Rev. Kurt E. Reinhardt

Tune: ACH BLEIB BEI UNS – LSB 585

“The hymn was given to me, while I was sitting by the lake in the quiet of a still morning with the creation testifying to the presence and goodness of God. It came to me as my heart and mind were prayerfully on someone very dear to me, who is struggling with hopelessness in these dark and trying days.

The trials of the pandemic have caused the traumas of this person’s past to resurface making this present time all the harder to bear. Other trials and troubles along with the worry and cares that go with them have worked together to rob them of hope for the present and the future. Once again, I have seen that as I have shared it with others, Christ’s comfort given to me to give to this person has comforted others as well, giving meaning and purpose to this person’s suffering, as their trials have resulted in others being comforted in Christ.” – Pastor Reinhardt
