How To Handle Hardships

How to handle hardships.

In life, we all go through hardships. Maybe right now, you are dealing with a hardship. Maybe it's a breakup, work, school, mental illness, or a physical illness. No matter what you are dealing with: God is here and He is ready to help.

So Renae, how do you handle hardships?

I will give you some tips and tricks that have helped me:

1. Read your Bible DAILY and pray DAILY

Honestly, I am TERRIBLE at reading my Bible daily and praying daily. It's a struggle of mine. But I realize that when I pray and read my Bible daily, I feel more peace. I feel God's presence around me. I learn to lift my eyes off my hardship and focus on God's goodness. So read your Bible and pray daily, you will fill more connected to God.

2. Fix your eyes on God's goodness, not your hardship

Instead of using all your energy and focus to focus on your hardship. Use that energy and focus to fix your eyes on God's goodness. God is so good y'all! (I am from the South I can say y'all hehe) Remember: that God sent His one and only Son to die a horrible death on the cross, FOR YOU! He did all that FOR YOU! Because He is so good!

3. Remember: keep going! That this is temporary, this hardship will pass.

Remember: this is not the end. This hardship, is only temporary. It will pass and good times will come. You just have to keep going. Don't let this hardship end you. Keep going and NEVER give up! You can do this. I believe in you. God believes in you and He loves you more than you can ever imagine.

Those are tips and tricks! I hope you enjoyed them!❤️
