Life Challenges

How you do you handle the challengs in your life?
  • Do you retreat into self pity?
  • Do you blame God?
  • Do you look for a way to escape?
  • Do you worry?
  • Do you blame others?
  • Do you think positive?
  • Do you dig deep within hoping to find something that will help?

These are all common responses that don't work -- I have tried them. We each have tried to manage the tough stuff with little or no positive results.

Personally I have turned to God in the following ways and found that there is hope. I really believe and have practiced the following.

  • Call out to God - Psalm 77:1
  • Seek God honouring advice - Proverbs 11:14
  • Find support from other followers of Christ - Hebrews 10:24-25
  • Be at peace knowing God is more than able to carry you through the challenges you face- Psalm 46:10

We have a God who understands the human condition - he knows and he cares.
