No matter how bad the situation might seem right now, stay brave, this too shall pass.


I know that this saying has caught your attention at least once in life — tough times don’t last, but tough people do.
Such simple words, yet powerful enough to live by.
Life is not always easy. As a matter of fact, you will spend most of your life dealing with challenges. Some will be much tougher than others.
In uncertain moments such as these, it’s difficult to think about the positive things in life.
For a brief moment, you are no longer able to see the glass full.
When life challenges us and puts a big obstacle in front of us, it’s completely normal to lose our ways for a moment.
It’s okay to feel scared. It happens to each and every one of us when we are faced with something unknown.
It’s also normal to lose optimism for a brief moment or to underestimate ourselves and our strength.
But in the end, it’s important to put a stop to the fear and to regain strength to face our challenges.
And no matter how difficult they might seem, resolving them starts by recognizing that these difficult moments won’t last forever.


Coping with difficult situations depends on two things — the severity of the problem, and your strength and willpower.
However, the first thing is entirely out of your hands.
While you can control your feelings and the ways you react to a situation, you can’t really do anything to change the situation.
In life, you will be faced with many challenges. Some bigger, others not as much. Still, each and every one of these situations will eventually pass.
That’s the thing with everything in life. No matter how good or bad it seems at this very moment, eventually, it will end.
So, what you are experiencing now, it will pass sooner or later.
The only thing that you can do is wait patiently and work on yourself.
You can’t change some things, but you can change the way you react to the situation.
And as they say, the sun comes out after the rain.
Still, easier said than done.
When times get tough and you start feeling anxious and scared, there are some things you can do to alleviate these feelings.


#1 — Acknowledge The Situation
How bad is it?
How worse can it become?
Yes, these thoughts might make you even more scared and anxious, but it’s important to think about the possible outcomes of the challenge that’s in front of you.
Don’t panic, and remind yourself that everything will pass. Still, stay alert, and acknowledge the severity of the situation.
The first step of overcoming something is by acknowledging it first.
#2 — Identify What Can And Cannot Be Changed
If what you are going through is your personal challenge, maybe you can change something about the situation. After all, sometimes it’s us who put the obstacles in our path.
Analyze the situation, and identify the things that you can do to change or improve. There has to be something that can be done so that you feel better and less anxious.
Once you learn what that is, make sure you take the necessary steps to do it.
For the things that you cannot change, however, make sure that you don’t waste any time trying to do something. Instead, invest that time into better things.
#3 — Ask For Help, Some Things You Can’t Do By Yourself
When you are faced with a challenge and you don’t know what your next step should be, ask for help.
Ask the people close to you what they would do, listen to different opinions than the one you have.
If you are feeling lonely or scared reach out to your family and friends.
In difficult times it’s important to stay close to the people you cherish, and it’s completely normal to ask for help, no matter what you are dealing with.
It’s always easier when you don’t have to deal with things alone.


You Are Tougher Than You Think

You don’t have power over things that are beyond your reach, but you do have power over your own mind.
So, when you can’t change the situation, change your attitude.
You are tougher than you think, and no matter what life brings, you can endure it and come out a winner.
Remember, real strength is the ability to endure when times are hard.
It’s seen in acknowledging and conquering your fears.
Real strength is knowing when to act, and when to wait for things to settle down on their own.
It’s accepting the challenge that comes with life and embracing every opportunity to come out of it as a winner.
Your real strength is accepting that things will get better, once you change your attitude.
Your mind can do wonders.

Times are changing, and there is nothing we can do about it.
The life you now know can change within a day. However, instead of fearing the change, we need to embrace it.
No matter how tough something might look right now, you are way tougher.
Unleash your potential, acknowledge your strength, and embrace the changes.
Every day can be an amazing opportunity to change your life for the better.
The only thing between a good change and a bad one is your attitude.

This is the moment when you need to give yourself every love that you need,it may sound bitter, you might be expecting it to end but remember you have a life to live.

And above all belive in GOD

Meet the God Who Is Able

One of God’s names tells us that He is able to do whatever He pleases, a name He first revealed to Abraham. He had promised to make Abraham the father of a great nation, and naturally Abraham needed a son in order for that promise to come true. He thought Hagar’s child, Ishmael, was to be that son, but God told him that Sarah would bear a son named Isaac through whom the promise would be fulfilled. The whole idea was preposterous. Abraham was ninety nine years old and Sarah was ninety, and humanly speaking there was no possible way they could have a son. But God helped them to believe it by the way He introduced Himself that day. “Now when Abram was ninety nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, ‘I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless’” (Genesis 17:1).

El Shaddai is God Almighty, the God who can do anything He wants to do, even rejuvenate dead wombs and give babies to couples in their nineties! He is almighty, all-powerful. That name is used forty-seven more times in the Old Testament and never of anyone but God. It has a New Testament equivalent, used ten times, which means literally “to hold all things in one’s power.” Scripture is punctuated with references to God’s omnipotence from beginning to end. He is the Lord strong and mighty (Psalm 24:8). Power belongs to Him (Psalm 62:11). “Great is our Lord, and abundant in strength” (Psalm 147:5). He wants us to know Him as the God who is able to do anything.

Most of us have had disillusioning experiences with people who have promised more than they have been able to deliver, and we have a tendency to transfer our skepticism to God. Does He really care? Is He really in control? Does He really have the power to bring good out of adversity? Our doubts do nothing but raise our anxiety level and cause us grief. Believe it, Christian, just as Abraham and Sarah finally believed it. God is able to do whatever needs to be done in your life. No other being is all-powerful. No problem is all-powerful. Only God is all powerful, and He is on our side. His omnipotence is pitted against our problem. The odds in our favor are infinite.

Jeremiah was another great saint who learned this lesson. God had been telling him that Judah would be invaded by the Babylonians and taken into captivity, but then He directed him to go out and buy his cousin’s field. That made no sense at all to Jeremiah. Why own a field if the Babylonians are going to destroy everything and take everybody into captivity? Could it be that God would bring them back from captivity? That was almost too good to believe. But he wanted to believe it and he was trying to believe it when he prayed, “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power and by Thine outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for Thee” (Jeremiah 32:17).

He Is Able to Supply Our Needs. “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed” (2 Corinthians 9:8). That promise was addressed to faithful and cheerful givers. They can count on God to take care of everything they need, in every circumstance of life, all the time. Only an omnipotent God could make a promise like that. My wife and I have experienced that power. There were days, early in our marriage, when we acted as though God could not really take care of our needs, as though providing for a seminary student with a wife and child were more than He could handle. Sometimes we got anxious and irritable over finances. But we tried to be faithful in sharing our meager resources with Him, and He kept showing us, sometimes in miraculous ways, that He was able to supply our needs.

He Is Able to Heal Our Diseases. Jesus taught this lesson to two blind men right after He emerged from the house where He had raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead, the supreme demonstration of His power. The two men cried out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” (Matthew 9:27) Jesus turned and asked, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” (Matthew 9:28) When they answered, “Yes, Lord,” Jesus touched their eyes and made them to see. He may be asking you the same question: “Do you believe I have the power to heal you?” He does not always heal, because He knows that sickness is sometimes the best way to accomplish His perfect purposes in our lives. But He is able, and He wants us to believe that. Believing it could be the very thing that starts us on the road to recovery.

He Is Able to Deliver Us from Death. Daniel’s three friends taught us this lesson when they were standing beside the door of a blazing fiery furnace heated seven times hotter than normal. They bold say “our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire.
