I’ve realized that God often doesn’t change our external circumstances, rather, He transforms us to cope with them. The more time we dedicate to prayer and immerse ourselves in His word, the more we find strength. He molds our character to align with His purpose.

My grandmother’s life stories provide me with hope and reassurance. Despite facing seemingly impossible trials, she remained steadfast and resilient.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7-9, Paul talks about a “thorn in the flesh,” a source of anguish that Satan used to afflict him. Although he pleaded with the Lord three times to remove it, Paul received the response, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Essentially, Paul realized that embracing his weaknesses allowed the power of Christ to rest upon him.

Remember this any and every obstacle you face, God will meet you there

Never lose hope, for He will never abandon you.“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (KJV

“There are parts of our calling, works of the Holy Spirit, and defeats of the darkness that will come no other way than through furious, fervent, faith-filled, unceasing prayer.” – Beth Moore
