“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 The reality is we are all facing storms, hardships, and trials, and at times it can seem like they will overtake us. But the 1 John 4:4 meaning shows that God is still in control. “Greater is he who is in me.” This is a powerful statement that we should hang onto and remind ourselves of.
