When It Gets Hard
When It Gets Hard
“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55:22 NIV
As we ALL know, life is filled with ups and down and the Word of God gives us inspiration to keep our heads up as we push forward. No matter what the challenges my friends, with God on our sides we do have the strength and resilience to overcome any challenge. How can we navigate those tight spaces:
- In the midst of challenges find strength in the God in you.
- When you fall, get on up and try it again, and again, and AGAIN!
- Don’t let the storms of life extinguish your inner light or make you a mean person.
- Setbacks are an opportunity in disguise to learn and grow.
- Believe in the dreams you have and your ability to transform toward greatness.
- Remember you are not defined by adversity, but instead how you rise above it.
- The roads are paved with all kinds of challenging runs, but it’s not our swiftness or strength that keeps us moving its our willing and endurance.
- Even in the darkest of night, the stars are still shining. Find the light within you and let it shine.
In the depth of our struggles lies and opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. Embrace your journey and keep moving forward. Remember who you are and whose you are. You are a child of the King and He sees where you are at and where you gotta go. Trust him to lead the way.
The song writer reminds me that when it gets hard to remember:
I’ve had some good days, hills to climb, weary days, sleepless nights, sometimes the clouds are low, and I can’t hardly see the road.
But when I look around and think things over, all of my good days outweigh my bad days, and I won’t complain. The Lord has been so good to me, drying my tears, turning my midnights into day (you know trouble don’t last always) He’s been so good to me, Lord I thank you. Amen.
Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
