The Importance of Faith in Life

In Acts chapter 16, Paul and Silas are in prison because they've been talking to people about Jesus too much. They were of the conviction that my life doesn't belong to me anyway. And so if God deals a severe mercy through this experience then I trust that he has my best in mind. The world's crazy. Life is really hard. Where do you go for assurance that God's commitment is for your best? As a Christian, does the community of Jesus like there's just one place that we point each other towards?"
