Everyone that is born on this planet suffers some kind of trials, problems, and issues in their life. One of the greatest things about humans is that we are capable of experiencing and overcoming these life trials.
Let's just list a few types of trials we may encounter.
Survival
Acceptance
Health
Mourning
Pain
Heartbreak
Depression
Financial
Marital
Stress
Fear
We could pick any one of these general topics, break it down into subcategories and talk about them all day. Sometimes it is good to talk about our problems in order to figure them out and solve specific issues. What's bad is to focus and dwell upon our problems all the time and consume ourselves to the point that we don't see the good, the blessings, the things that make it worth overcoming all the problems the world can bring our way.
Here is the one key that will get you through the trials of life - HOPE!
That's right. Think about it. If you have hope that things will get better, that there is a great reward, that in the end everything will be set right, aren't you more likely to push through the hard times?
Our time here on the earth is very temporary. As Zig Ziglar says, "We're going to be dead a lot longer than we're alive." If you don't have hope that there is something more, doesn't the whole thing seem kind of pointless?
If you don't have hope, if there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel, here are some suggestions:
1. Make yourself believe that any trial, no matter how overwhelming and consuming it may seem, is only temporary.
2. Make yourself believe that you were created by a loving Father in Heaven that will never forsake you.
3. Make yourself believe that you have the power, the strength, the ability to overcome any trial that may come to you in this life. That same God that created you will not allow you to have more trials than you are able to bare (even though it may seem that way).
I know that these things are true. Very, very true. And once you know they are true, your power to overcome and endure trials, find solutions to problems, and receive inspiration for your life issues, will increase tremendously. |
