October 28, 2010

Challenges come in many shapes. I saw this on a website, maybe it was TGIF … a great reminder that prayer can especially help in times of great adversity and challenge. Good advice too.

Adversity comes in all sizes and shapes. No one adversity is like another and no one person’s adversity is less important than another’s. I wanted to let you know that the season you are in will pass and God will make something good of your experience. The keys to getting through your adversity are:
  1. Take one day at a time and ask God for grace for that day only.
  2. Don’t project outcomes to the future. In other words, don’t think about all the ramifications of what “may” happen resulting from your circumstances.
  3. Meditate on the Word of God and be obedient to the small things He shows you.
  4. Spend time alone with God and praise Him. We overcome the spirit of anxiety and heaviness through praise.
  5. Reach out to others in the midst of your pain.
I pray that I can use this process whenever a crisis strikes, as it will.
