The power to hold on

The power to hold on



I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living - Psalm 27:13.
Life is full of challenges.
 There are circumstances that confront us that may be quite overwhelming.

What are the challenges you are facing today?

They could be financial, health, marital, occupational and so on.in all these, you can overcome and come out stronger if you don't give up.
issues of life may make us want to despair, be discouraged, sink under and fret.

No matter what life throws at you - don't substitute faith for fear, action for inaction, belief for unbelief, power for weakness.



5 things to do to live victoriously in any situation:
  1. Believe to see the goodness of the Lord. You must come to the place where you fix your thoughts on God's ability and goodness.

    To believe is to see your challenges from God's perspective. This exercise eliminates fear, feeling of inadequacy and powerlessness.

    It builds courage that will make you strong and not cave in.



  2.  Acknowledge God as your Light and Salvation. Be acquainted with the ways of God as revealed in His Word. He gives direction. You need His direction to navigate various situations of life.  
  3.  Be expectant. Have a positive outlook and know that things will turn out ultimately for your good. See opportunities in challenges. What you think is a problem today may be a stepping stone to a greater future.   
  4.  Cultivate the atmosphere of God's presence through praise and gratitude.                           Gratitude is a high expression of faith in God's provision.                                                            You create an atmosphere of peace and power when you praise God in every situation.                                                                                                                               Expressing gratitude for the little things creates opportunities for more. For God inhabits the praises of His people.
  5. Live a prayerful life.                                                                                                             Everyone who desires victory ought always to pray and not faint. Spend time to pray for strength to do your tasks. A time of prayer is not wasted time.
In everything be encouraged and keep moving forward. Take purposeful and deliberate steps and don't give up.
Things can change for your good at any time if you don't give up.
