Keeping our faith in challenging times

1. Put God first, and he will keep you aligned with your purpose. All will flow effortlessly when you are in your element; God is our source of light, life, and everything.
2. Sometimes optimism is all we have had when facing challenges, and by God’s grace, it was adequate.
3. Nothing beats that sense of meaning and belonging that we find in God. Our souls are satisfied, and the rest of us is well. We have no interest in meaningless imitations when we have had the best.
4. Pray that God will grow your mind, body and soul. So you can be greater than any challenges you face on your way to greatness.
5. Refine your prayers to manifest the nature God put in you so the world does not become smaller and easier to suit you but makes you greater than whatever you face. Do not be like the man who buried his talents in fear of his master. Be the one who multiplied his investment.
6. We all have connections through the divine. Don’t kill your dreams, and your dreams won’t die.
7. God sees us through the crucial times of life. We are forged in fire until the fire can no longer harm us.
8. We are not the first to experience challenging times. No one is born knowledgeable, but we eventually learn the lessons life has in store for us.
