+If you’re going through a difficult time in your life right now, you’re not alone. In fact, 100% of people in the world will experience some type of hardship or difficult season in their lives.
+Whether you’re in one now, are coming out of one, or will be going into one, they are a part of life. No one enjoys going through hard times. Think about it—have you ever met someone who enjoyed going through a challenging time? Probably not.
+There’s no medicine we can take to keep troubles away nor is there any amount of positive thinking or self-talk that will prevent us from going through hard times. So, while it may feel like we are the only ones going through our tough situations, we’re not.
+We can find encouragement in what Jesus taught. He told us in John 16:33, “You will have trouble.” He understood what we’d be up against—a world full of depravity, sin, hatred, and a spiritual enemy who wants to destroy us. But thankfully, He also said that we can “take heart” because “He has overcome the world.”
+We don’t have to live discouraged in a discouraging world. We can still live a full, rich life knowing that in the end, we’ll be victorious. ๐
๐Father, you are gentle and humble in heart, and you invite me to come to you when I’m weary and burdened. You lead me to a better way. Make me more like you.
+Open up my eyes to the beauty in this journey of waiting, help me to draw closer to you, and to become more patient. Help me to learn how to rest, wait, listen, and renew. Amen. ๐☝️๐ช๐ป๐ค
