Many people are facing severe trials and hardships already as we begin the new year.

However Psalm 3 provides us a model of how to process our trials in a way that is constructive and not destructive. Here are the four steps we can take to move from trial to triumph:

1. Present
2. Confess
3. Experience
4. Empower

Therefore handled wisely our trials can actually open us up to fresh experiences of God and invigorated faith in him.
