There will be so many times on this faith journey when you feel like throwing in the towel. I’ve been there! 🙋🏽♀️
Have you ever felt...
- -Lonely
- -Stuck in what feels like a dead end situation.
- -Every time you try to move forward life knocks you back.
- God was silent during the time you needed him most?
When life gets tough it's tempting to throw in the towel and give up.
Our feelings sometimes tell us that God isn't with us or he's forgotten about us. But God gives us a promise that he will NEVER leave nor forsake us- despite how we feel.
Deuteronomy 31:6-8
Remember that life won't always be like this. This is a season and all seasons must change. During this time (although you may not feel like it) lean into spending time with God because he has a plan for your life. Trusting Him will give you the strength and perseverance you need to get thru this season.
I love that when we stay connected to God, he uses everything for our good. And we can flourish even in hard season.The strength you build in this season will prepare you to do greater things in the next season of your life. Things that you didn't think were possible!
HERE ARE 5 THINGS THAT MAY HELP YOU WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP.
1. Find 2-3 anchored promises in the bible and read them daily.
2. Stay in community- people that will support and pray for you
3. Take life one day at a time.
4. Fill your ears and eyes with things that will lift you up and glorify God.
5. When you feel overwhelmed thru out the day- set aside 2 minutes to just step away and breath. Pray one simple prayer...LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING.
*BONUS* GRATITUDE! Write 2-3 things you're grateful for. Because the truth is God is always providing and loving on us in different ways. When you practice gratitude it helps keep your eyes off your own circumstances and you get to focus on what good is happening around you.
