THROUGH HIS PRESENCE: “FEAR THOU NOT; FOR I AM WITH THEE” (ISAIAH 41:10). YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO FACE HARDSHIP ALONE.
THROUGH HIS WORD: SCRIPTURE GIVES GUIDANCE, HOPE, WISDOM, AND COURAGE—ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR FEELINGS ARE WEAK.
THROUGH PRAYER: PRAYER ALLOWS YOU TO BRING YOUR FEARS AND NEEDS TO GOD AND RECEIVE PEACE AND RENEWED FAITH.
THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT: GOD GIVES INNER STRENGTH TO ENDURE, RESIST TEMPTATION, AND KEEP GOING (EPHESIANS 3:16).
THROUGH OTHER BELIEVERS: ENCOURAGEMENT, FELLOWSHIP, AND PRACTICAL HELP FROM GOD’S PEOPLE CAN CARRY YOU THROUGH DIFFICULT SEASONS.
THROUGH TRIALS: HARDSHIPS CAN DEVELOP PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER, AND DEEPER TRUST IN GOD (JAMES 1:2–4; ROMANS 5:3–5).
THROUGH HIS GRACE: GOD DOES NOT ALWAYS REMOVE THE DIFFICULTY, BUT HE GIVES ENOUGH GRACE TO ENDURE IT: “MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE” (2 CORINTHIANS 12:9).
SOMETIMES GOD’S STRENGTH LOOKS LIKE COURAGE TO ACT; OTHER TIMES IT LOOKS LIKE PATIENCE TO WAIT, HUMILITY TO ASK FOR HELP, OR SIMPLY THE ABILITY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP.
