Challenges can only make you more stronger, more better and trust God more than ever.
This Motivation is to Encourage those who are going through Challenges.
I had a conversation with my Mentor and also a friend of mine recently about some intense Challenges i am facing. I shared with him what was going on and the underlying fear that I simply couldn’t handle all of it.
My friend and mentor Bishop Akintola. He listened to me with compassion and then said something simple, but profound, He said it’s important to remember that you have more than this requires, to overcome this Challenges, he said this is not the first time you been through Challenges, that i always overcome them. this too shall come to pass.
This really resonated with me.
Not only did he empathetically acknowledge what I was dealing with and feeling, but he also reminded me that I had what it took to face these challenges effectively. Like most people, I’ve got quite a bit of experience overcoming adversity. Bishop Akintola helped me remember my strength and resilience, which we can sometimes forget in the face of difficult times. His encouragement came at the right time, it helped me to know that the Lord is my strength.
If you are going through a difficult and challenging time, remember you are not alone, after you overcome the challenges you are facing, you will be able to Evolve and grow
I love the saying, Circumstances don’t define you, they reveal you.
Challenges are a normal part of life. It’s easy for us to forget that facing difficulties and challenges directly can help us grow and gain wisdom, even though it can be hard.
In most situations we face in life, we really do have more than is required to not only deal with what’s happening, but to actually thrive in the face of it. As the saying goes, if challenges don’t kill you, it makes you stronger.
And while I don’t believe that we have to suffer and struggle in order to evolve, one of the best things we can do when dealing with adversity is to find the gold in the situation as much as possible.
What to do when facing challenges.
Here are a few things to think about and do so that you can remember that you do, in fact, have more than any challenging circumstances require.
Remind yourself of all you’ve done, experienced, and overcome.
Take some inventory of your life from the perspective of resilience. Think about all the times you’ve dealt with change, loss, uncertainty, fear, pain, disappointment, failure, etc. and worked through it.
Regardless of what you’re dealing with right now, you truly have what it takes to overcome adversity and face any difficulties that comes your way. The more you remember this and live from this perspective, the more freedom, power, and peace of mind you’ll experience.
Where in your life are you currently facing challenges? What do you appreciate about these specific challenges (i.e., what are you learning from them and what can you be grateful for about dealing with them)?
Whatever you are going through believe you have christ on your side.Amen
Keep Safe and have a Blessed week.
