Standing Strong in Times of Challenge
"Sometimes life holds great challenges for us in its grasps."
Have you ever had a day or days that were so challenging that you felt like “what now, what else, why is this happening to me, can it get any worse, and you simply said REALLY?” You felt like who could possibly handle all of this? Well, YOU can.
The reality is that life is filled with ups and downs; triumphs and trials; joys and sorrows. There will always be challenging situations to deal with and hurdles to get over. But somehow in the most challenging and toughest times in life you find the strength to STAND STRONG and endure them. Though it may not seem like it at the time, ultimately all the downs, trials and sorrows you face are only TEMPORARY.
The good news is that you get to choose how you handle those TEMPORARY situations. The power to stand is in your hands. You can let them defeat you or you can overcome them by seeking ways to boost your faith to move beyond your current challenge. Consider seeking guidance through wise counsel, prayer, reading the word, positive writings, or talking to a close friend. Do whatever works best for you.
Now, think about how blessed you are overall and the fact that you are still STANDING and OVERCOMING in the midst of the challenge. In the end, if you remain HUMBLE, you will triumph over the IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS in life and gain renewed hope, faith and strength!
So, when those moments of craziness in life occur, look for positive opportunities to make the most of what you are going through and tackle them head-on. Know that the things that seem to be happening TO YOU, are actually happening FOR YOU, in an effort to help build your character and transform your life.
