Do you know that you’re stronger than you think? Do you know God has placed a holy determination inside of you...an ability to handle things that come your way and never give up?
We all have dreams, and we all experience times in life when we feel like throwing in the towel. Or we say a quick prayer and hope everything will just magically change. However, just wishing for things or situations in life to get better or to be different does not bring change or results.
What makes a difference is setting aside all distractions, opposition from the
enemy, reasons why “it can’t work,” and whatever else holds us back. We also
have to decide that when God says something can happen—when He’s given us a dream or vision for our lives—it’s our job to agree with Him and allow Him to empower us to see it happen.
We’ve all been frustrated by outcomes in life. We’ve all been hurt. We’ve all
gone through pain, stress, trials, and adversity. We all have had moments when it felt like life was pressing against us. And the truth is—whether things are good in your life right now or they’re difficult—there will be seasons when life seems to be pressing in on you. That’s not going to change.
On this side of heaven, none of us get to choose whether or not we’ll be free
from pain. But that doesn’t mean we’re helpless. You don’t have to sit back and
let life happen to you.
