How to Deal with Difficulty

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”‭‭ Romans‬ ‭12:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬   

How can you deal with difficulty?

Don’t give up.

The word “affliction” in the scripture above essentially means “pressure”.  

The pressure in your life is no joke. 

It is intense right now. 

How do can you deal with it? 

1. Spend your energy pursuing hope. 

2. Don’t quit when things get hard.  

3.  Spend more time in the presence of God than the presence of fear.

If you must work on something my friend, work on keeping your heart filled with the wonder and expanse of God’s love for you.

Then lean on Jesus and let Him bear the pressure of the day.

Don’t give up.
