+Realise that rough times won’t last forever. As surely as God created spring to follow winter, ‘He changes times and seasons…He gives wisdom’ (Daniel 2:21 NIV).
+The season of adversity you’re in will end. And when it does, you’ll glean from it the wisdom to build a better future.
+Sometimes your greatest blessings come from your most negative circumstances. Tough times don’t last, but tough people do!
+Out of your greatest tests come your greatest testimonies. Don’t make major decisions during a storm.
+Thoughts and feelings often run wild in the midst of a crisis; those are times when you need to be careful about making decisions.
+Remain calm, discipline yourself to focus on what you can do, and trust God to do what you can’t.
+Let your emotions subside – before you decide. You may not always have that option, but as much as possible, put significant decisions on hold until your storm passes.
+Just as the wind blows about wildly during a storm, your thoughts can become wild and frantic, and that’s not the best time to make crucial assessments.
+What should you do? Paul answers, ‘Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and…His peace will guard your hearts and minds’ (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT).
๐I pray that I won’t allow my fleeting and untrustworthy emotions to be the sole guides of my decision making.
+Lord, I want You to be my consultant and guide whenever I face a decision – help me remember to turn to You first for wisdom, rather than trusting only my own judgment.
