there are times when we feel like our strength is running out that the struggles and challenges of life are
just too heavy to bear in these moments we seek a source of strength and
resilience to help us keep going the good news is that Jesus has already
taught us the secret to being strong and resilient even in the face of the
greatest adversities throughout his life and Ministry Jesus not only spoke about
strength and resilience but he showed us through his actions how we can find that inner fortitude from
the calmest moments to the darkest ones he left us with profound lessons that
reveal where the true source of our strength lies today we will explore six
Powerful Secrets that Jesus has left for us to be strong and resilient in any circumstance each of these secrets Is
Anchored in his own experiences and teachings showing us the way to overcome come with faith trust and obedience to
God the first secret is to trust in God at all times from the very beginning of
his ministry Jesus showed us that true strength comes from complete trust in God especially in the most challenging
situations one example that illustrates this is when he was led by the spirit
Into the Wilderness to be tempted by the devil in Matthew 41-1 we see that after fasting for for
40 days and 40 nights Jesus became hungry something any human would
experience in that moment of vulnerability the devil tried to use human weaknesses to divert Jesus
suggesting he turns stones into bread but Jesus response was clear and direct
it is written man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God Matthew the this response was not just theoretical
teaching it was a practical demonstration that trust in God must be greater than any physical or material
need even in the face of hunger which is a basic necessity Jesus did not place
his trust in what was visible but in the word of God this teaches us that in our
moments of greatest fragility that's when we should trust God the most when
it seems like there is no way out when the solution is beyond what we can see or control trusting in God is what
strengthens us this same principle applies in many other instances in jesus' life when facing storms both
literal and figurative his trust was firmly grounded in the sovereignty of
God another significant example is in John l where Jesus makes it clear that he
didn't come to do his own will but the will of the father who sent him this
shows us that in addition to trusting in God it's essential to live according to
his will even when that means surrendering our own desires still in
the wilderness the devil took Jesus to the highest point of the temple and tempted him again this time suggesting
he throw himself down because the Angels would save him once again Jesus
responded with the word of God it is also written do not not put the Lord your God to the test Matthew
Jesus didn't use his divine power to prove his identity he didn't need to
because his trust in the father was already complete this shows us that we don't need physical proof or signs to
trust that God is in control he always knows what's best for us and acts at the
right time trusting in God is one of the most important pillars for developing
strength and resilience sometimes we want to take control of situations solve everything with our own
strength but that's not the way Jesus taught us trusting is placing control in
God's hands and believing that he has the best for us even if we can't see it
at the moment when we Face tribulations there's always the temptation to seek
quick Solutions or rely on our own wisdom but as Jesus taught us in the
wilderness true strength lies in wai in on the Lord Isaiah reminds us but
those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow
weary they will walk and not be faint this means that trusting in God gives us
renewed strength a strength that doesn't come from us but from him throughout the
Bible we see examples of people who even in the midst of their greatest
difficulties trusted in God and as a result were strengthened and empowered
to face adversity David for instance faced Giants not because he was strong in
himself but because he trusted in the God who guided him in 1st Samuel
when David confronts Goliath he declares you come against me with sword
and Spear and Javelin but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty
the god of the armies of Israel whom you have defied David's confidence wasn't in his
abilities or his weapons but in God and it was this trust that led him to
Victory the same principle applies to our daily lives when we Face Giants
whether they are financial problems illnesses emotional crises or other challenges we must remember that our
strength doesn't come from our ability to solve these situations but from our trust in God Proverbs
teaches us trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight
this verse calls us to place all our trust in the Lord in every aspect of our lives and he will guide us on the right
path trusting in God also means accepting that we won't always understand everything he does or allows
in our lives there are times when God's ways seem incomprehensible to us but
it's in those moments that trust must be even stronger Jesus showed us this in
various situations when Lazarus died many questioned why Jesus hadn't healed
him before his death but Jesus trusting in God's plan said in John this
sickness will not end in death no it is for God's glory so that God son may be
glorified through it and at the right moment Lazarus was raised from the dead
demonstrating that trust in God's timing and plans always results in something
greater than we can imagine finally it's important to remember that trusting in God is a continuous process it's not
something we do once and it's done with each new challenge each new difficulty
we are called to renew our trust in him in Philippians Paul exhorts us to
not be anxious about anything but to present Everything To God In Prayer and petition with Thanksgiving and then the
peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard our hearts and Minds in Christ Jesus this teaches us
that by fully trusting in God we experience a peace that goes beyond circumstances a peace that comes from
him and strengthens us to face any situation the second secret is to pray
constantly Jesus left us a clear example that prayer is essential for being
strong and resilient it wasn't just something he taught his disciples but
something he intensely practiced in his own life from the start of his ministry
we see Jesus withdrawing to pray at crucial moments a significant example is
his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane one of the most intense and emotional moments of his journey
in Matthew knowing what was to come Jesus
withdrew to pray taking Peter James and John with him there he expressed his
anguish to the father saying my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death Matthew what this moment teaches us is that in the midst of life's most
difficult situations prayer is what connects us directly to God and and strengthens us Jesus prayed three times
in that Garden showing that prayer isn't a one-time event but something
continuous his persistence in prayer reflects the importance of maintaining a constant dialogue with God especially in
moments of Anguish and uncertainty he not only asked the father to take the cup of suffering from him if possible
but also surrendered his will saying yet not as I will but as you will Matthew
this total surrender is an example of how prayer helps us align our hearts
with God's will even when that will involve challenges this episode in
Gethsemane also shows us that prayer is a source of spiritual strength while
Jesus prayed the disciples with him fell asleep despite his request for them to
keep watch and pray this shows us that without prayer it's easy to succumb to
fatigue and weakness but prayer renews us after praying Jesus was ready to face
what was coming while his disciples who did not pray were confused and lost when
confronted with the situation another powerful example of the importance of prayer in jesus' life
is when he spent the night in prayer before choosing his 12 disciples in Luke
6213 we read that one of those days Jesus went out to a mountain side to
pray and spent the night praying to God when morning came he called his
disciples to him and chose 12 of them this moment shows that even in important
life decisions Jesus fully trusted the direction the father would give him through prayer he didn't make the
decision hastily or based on his own wisdom but sought God's Guidance just as
Jesus taught us prayer should not be limited to moments of distress but
should be part of our entire lives the Apostle Paul reminds us of
this in 1 Thessalonians where he exalts us to pray without ceasing this
means that our lives should be permeated with an attitude of prayer a continuous
conversation with god it's not necessary to always be in a specific place or
special position to pray we can pray as we walk work and face our daily
challenges prayer keeps us connected to God and this connection is what strengthens us and gives us resilience
to face trials at another point in Jesus life we see how he often withdrew to pray in
solitary places Luke records that Jesus often withdrew to lonely places
and prayed this habit of seeking Solitude to be alone with the father shows that prayer is also a moment of
personal renewal and strengthening even in the midst of his his intense Mission
surrounded by crowds and many people needing his help Jesus always found time
to withdraw and pray this teaches us that in the midst of our responsibilities and daily activities
it's essential to set aside moments of quiet to pray reflect and listen to God's voice prayer not only strengthens
us but also gives us Clarity and discernment Jesus demonstrated this when
he prayed before for making important decisions as we saw in the example of choosing the
disciples this teaches us that when we Face moments of uncertainty instead of
trusting in our own ability to discern what's best we should seek God's guidance through prayer prayer opens our
spiritual eyes and allows us to see beyond the immediate circumstances another significant moment
in jesus' life related to prayer is in Luke when one of the disciples
after seeing him pray asked Lord teach us to pray just as John taught his
disciples this request shows that Jesus's own disciples recognized the
importance of prayer in his life and wanted to learn to pray as he did it was
in this context that Jesus taught the famous Lord's Prayer which serves as a
model for all of us the Lord's Prayer teaches us to rever God seek his his
will ask for daily provision and plead for forgiveness and protection this
prayer summarizes the Essential Elements of an effective prayer life additionally
Jesus also gave us the parable of the unjust judge to teach about the importance of persistence in Prayer in
Luke 1818 Jesus tells the story of a widow who persistently asked a judge for
justice even though he neither feared God nor cared about people although the
judge initially ignored her requests he eventually gave in because of her persistence Jesus used this Parable to
teach that we should always pray and never give up he concludes by saying
listen to what the unjust judge says and will not God bring about Justice for his
chosen ones who cry out to him Day and Night Luke
1867 this Parable teaches us that persistent prayer is powerful and that
God in his time will answer our pleas therefore prayer is not just a religious
practice it's a relationship with God it strengthens us gives us resilience and
keeps us connected to the father in all circumstances Jesus showed us through
his life that prayer is the secret to remaining steadfast even in the face of the greatest adversities the Third
Secret is serving others Jesus taught us that true strength and resilience often come through serving
others in many situations he showed that the path to Greatness is not in being
served but in serving a clear example of this attitude from Jesus is when he
washed his disciples feet in John during the Last Supper Jesus did
something that surprised everyone he the master and Lord got up took a tow
knelt before his disciples and began washing their feet Peter initially
refused because he didn't understand why Jesus himself was doing such a humble task however Jesus explained the
importance of that act in John Jesus said now that I your lord
and teacher have washed your feet you also should wash one another's feet I
have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you here Jesus
shows us that serving others is not a sign of weakness but of inner strength and confidence in our identity in God
even though he was the son of God he did not feel diminished by performing this humble act on the contrary he
demonstrated that true greatness lies in serving serving others is an act of love
that strengthens us spiritually because it shifts our Focus away from our own
difficulties and puts us in a position of empathy and compassion for others in
Mark 10:45 Jesus stated for even the son of man did not come to be served but to
serve and to give his life as a ransom for many this verse highlights that
Jesus mission from the very beginning was marked by service he did not seek
status recognition or Comfort but dedicated his life for the good of
others more over serving teaches us to develop resilience that goes beyond
ourselves when we focus on helping someone we find strength even when we
feel weak this is because by attending to others needs we are renewed through
the very act of giving the Apostle Paul reminds us of this in Galatians
6:9-10 where he writes let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up therefore as we have opportunity let us
do good to all people especially to those who belong to the family of Believers Jesus himself on various
occasions demonstrated that service is a way to fulfill God's purpose on earth
when he fed the crowd of 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish
as narrated in Matthew 14321 he not only performed a miracle
but also taught us the p power of serving the needs of others even when resources seem
limited Jesus could have sent the crowd away but he chose to serve trusting that
God would provide what was needed to feed everyone present another important
point is that serving others helps us develop humility in Philippians 2 3-4
Paul urges us do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit rather in
humility value others above yourselves not looking to your own interests but
each of you to the interests of the others by serving we learn to prioritize
the needs of others above our own and this strengthens us emotionally and
spiritually because our lives begin to reflect Christ's love in a practical way
Jesus also left us the example that service should be done without expecting anything in return in Luke to 635
he teaches us to love our enemies and do good without expecting anything back
this is resilience in its purest form continuing to do good even when there is
no recognition or immediate reward this attitude strengthens us internally
because it frees us from the need for approval and validation from others focusing solely on pleasing God service
also prepares us to face life's adversities with greater courage when we are accustomed to putting ourselves at
others disposal we practice an act of surrender in Matthew 2535 to 40 Jesus
teaches us that by feeding the hungry giving drink to the Thirsty welcoming strangers and clothing the needy we are
actually serving Christ himself he said truly I tell you whatever you did for
one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine you did for me m Matthew
this shows us that serving others is also a way to deeply connect with
Jesus strengthening our spirit and our faith when Jesus called his disciples he
invited them to a life of service in Matthew 20 2628 he said whoever wants to
become great among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be first must be your slave just as the son of
man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for
many Jesus makes it clear that the path to True greatness lies in service by
living out this principle we find a source of strength that the world cannot offer this strength does not come from
recognition or power but from the simple Act of blessing others furthermore
serving helps us develop a long-term Vision by investing our time and energy
to help others we are planting seeds that we may not see the fruits of immediately but Jesus reminds us that
sincere service will always be rewarded by God in Hebrews it is written God
is Not unjust he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as
you have helped his people and continue to help them this gives us the assurance
that our effort to serve is not in vain and that God in his time will bring the
reward therefore serving others is one of the most powerful ways to be strong and
resilient in life it shifts us from a stance of self- protection and teaches
us to live selflessly just as Jesus did through service we find purpose
spiritual growth and the strength to face the challenges that come our way the fourth secret is having faith in
difficult times Jesus in his journey on Earth left many examples of how faith is
essential to navigate the most adverse situations during moments of uncertainty
and tribulation he always demonstrated that faith in God is what sustains us
one episode that clearly illustrates this is the occasion when he and his disciples crossed the Sea of Galilee in
Matthew to 27 we read that Jesus was in the boat with his disciples when
a great storm arose the the wind and the waves were so strong that the boat seemed about to sink meanwhile Jesus
slept peacefully desperate the disciples woke him saying Lord save us we're going
to drown Matthew Jesus upon waking up rebuked them
for their lack of faith before calming the storm why are you so afraid you of
little faith Matthew l then he got up and with a simple
word commanded the wind and the sea to calm and there was great peace this
moment teaches us that in times of greatest distress when everything around us seems to be falling apart faith is
what keeps us grounded even when circumstances are frightening and fear
tries to overwhelm us Jesus calls us to trust in God for he is in control even
when we cannot see an immediate solution for Jesus Faith was not just an abstract
feeling or something to talk about during peaceful times it was an active trust in God's goodness and power
regardless of the situation another powerful example of how Jesus connected Faith with
resilience in the face of challenges is in the episode where he healed the woman with the issue of blood in Mark to
34 we find the story of a woman who had suffered from an illness for 12 years
she had spent all she had on on treatments without success but upon hearing about Jesus she decided that if
she could just touch his clothes she would be healed with faith she
approached him in the crowd and touched the edge of His Garment immediately she
was healed Jesus realizing that he had been touched said to her daughter your faith
has healed you go in peace and be freed from your suffering Mark
this story teaches us that even in situations that seem impossible Faith
brings us into direct contact with God's power that woman despite years of
suffering did not lose her faith she believed that with a simple Act of trust
she could receive healing and that's exactly what happened Faith therefore is
a force that pushes us beyond our limitations and helps us find strength in God's power to face what seems
insurmountable Jesus also teaches us that faith is powerful even when it
seems small in Matthew he says if you have faith as small as a mustard
seed you can say to this mountain move from here to there and it will move
nothing will be impossible for you the comparison with a mustard seed is significant because this seed is
extremely small yet it grows to become one of the largest plants in the garden
this teaches us that it's not the size of our faith that matters but in whom we place that Faith even the smallest
amount of faith when placed in God can move mountains so when we Face
difficulties even if our faith seems fragile we must remember that God is
powerful to act and that gives us strength to keep moving forward moreover faith in difficult
times not only helps us overcome challenges but also brings us peace amidst the storm in John Jesus
said to his disciples peace I leave with you my peace I give you I do not give to
you as the world gives do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid the peace that Jesus offers does not depend on external circumstances but
comes from trust in God when we have faith we can experience that peace even
when everything around us seems chaotic it is faith that allows us to rest in
the assurance that God is with us that he has a plan and that nothing is beyond
his control Jesus often praised those who showed great faith even in times of
great suffering one example of this is in Matthew
15228 when a Canaanite woman whose daughter was possessed by an evil spirit
came to Jesus begging for help initially Jesus did not respond and the disciples
asked him to send her away but the woman persisted showing unwavering Faith Jesus
finally said to Heroman you have great faith your request is granted Matthew
and her daughter was healed at that moment this story shows us that
even when it seems like God is silent or distant our faith must remain firm This
Woman's persistence in seeking jesus' help even in the face of obstacles is a
clear example of resilience rooted in faith faith also allows us to see beyond
present difficulties and look to the future with hope the author of Hebrews reminds us of this in Hebrews where
we read now Faith is confidence in what we hope for and Assurance about what we
do not see even when we cannot see the solution Faith gives us the certainty
that God is working on our behalf when we trust in him we can face any
situation with courage knowing that he is with us every step of the way thus
faith is not just a refuge in times of difficulty it is also the force that
propels us forward when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead as described in
John 11144 he asked Martha lazarus's sister
an important question I am the resurrection and the life the one who
believes in me will live even though they die and whoever lives by believing
in me will never die do you believe this John
Martha replied affirmatively showing her faith and Jesus in response to that
trust brought her brother back to life this passage teaches us that even
in the face of death faith in Jesus is what sustains us and gives us hope
therefore faith is the foundation of resilience it allows us to face life storms with confidence Keeps Us grounded
when everything around us seems to be crumbling and gives us the assurance that no matter what we Face God is in
control just as Jesus demonstrated in his life Faith does not remove
challenges but equips us to go through them with strength and peace the fifth
secret is to forgive wholeheartedly Jesus taught us through his words and
actions that forgiveness is one of the greatest demonstrations of spiritual strength and
resilience forgiving is neither simple nor easy especially when we've been
deeply hurt however Jesus showed us through his own life that forgiveness is
essential to live in peace and harmony with God and others one of the most
powerful examples of forgiveness was when while on the cross he he prayed for
those who crucified him in Luke he said father forgive them for they do not
know what they are doing even in the midst of extreme pain and Injustice Jesus chose to forgive
this act teaches us that forgiveness does not depend on the circumstances or the severity of the offense but is a
reflection of the grace that God extends to us forgiving someone who has deeply
hurt us requires strength and above all trust in God Jesus showed us that
forgiving is not a sign of weakness but rather of spiritual power when we choose
to forgive we are telling God that we trust his Justice and do not seek revenge or Harbor resentment in Matthew
Jesus teaches for if you forgive other people when they sin against you
your heavenly father will also forgive you but if you do not forgive others their sins your father will not forgive
your sins this verse shows us that forgiveness is a two-way street as we
forgive we are also forgiven furthermore forgiveness sets us free when we do not
forgive we become prisoners of resentment hurt and bitterness these
emotions corrode our inner peace and weaken us spiritually forgiveness on the
other hand frees us from these chains and allows us to live fully and in peace
with God in Matthew Peter asked Jesus how many times he
should forgive his brother suggesting seven times as a generous number but
Jesus replied I tell you not seven times but 77 times this teaches us that
forgiveness must be continuous something we do repeatedly Without Limits we must
not hold grudges or or limit our forgiveness to a set number of offenses
a powerful example of forgiveness in the Bible is the story of Joseph the son of
Jacob who was betrayed by his own Brothers they sold him into slavery and
Joseph suffered years of Injustice in Egypt yet when Joseph became governor
and his brothers came to him for help he forgave them wholeheartedly in Genesis 50:20 Joseph
said to his brothers you intended to harm me but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now
being done the saving of many lives Joseph's forgiveness was deep and
sincere and his forgiving attitude brought reconciliation to his family
this shows us that forgiveness can transform even the most difficult situations into something God uses for
good Jesus also taught us that forgiveness must be accompanied by action in Matthew
he instructs us to seek reconciliation with others before
offering anything at the altar therefore if you are offering your gift at the
altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you leave your gift there in front of
the altar first go and be reconciled to them then come and offer your gift this
shows us that forgiveness is so important that before we offer anything to God we should make every effort to be
at peace with those around us forgiveness is more than an internal decision it involves an active attitude
of reconciliation forgiving gives us the strength to move forward without
carrying the burden of resentment when teaching the Lord's Prayer Jesus included forgiveness as a fundamental
part of our relationship with God and with others in Matthew we pray and
for forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors this reminds us that forgiveness
is an ongoing practice in our life of Faith something we must do regularly
just as we expect God to forgive us in addition to freeing us from hurts and resentments forgiveness empowers us to
love more deeply in Colossians Paul reminds us bear with each other and
forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against some someone forgive as the Lord forgave you this teaches us
that just as God forgives us daily we must extend the same Grace to others
strengthening our relationships and promoting Peace by forgiving our hearts
are transformed and molded to be like Christ who forgives us infinitely forgiveness also requires humility many
times we are tempted to hold on to Pride and resentment waiting for the other person to repent or apologize
but Jesus calls us to forgive regardless of the other person's attitude he
teaches that forgiveness is a personal and spiritual choice that does not depend on the offender's attitude or
repentance this requires us to relinquish our right to retaliate and submit to God's will trusting that he is
just and knows how to deal with all the issues in our hearts an important aspect
of forgiveness is that it does not mean forgetting or ignoring what happened forgiving is not justifying or
minimizing the offense but releasing both the other person and ourselves from the chains of
hurt in Ephesians Paul exhorts us get rid of all
bitterness rage and anger brawling and slander along with every form of malice
be kind and compassionate to one another forgiving each other just as in Christ
God forgave you this teaches us that forgiveness is part of the process of
freeing ourselves from negative emotions that erode our souls by forgiving we are
freed from these burdens that prevent us from moving forward with joy and peace
therefore forgiveness is a path to strength and resilience when we choose to forgive
even in the most difficult situations we follow jesus' example and draw closer to
God forgiving is not just an act of kindness but an essential step for our
spiritual and emotional health forgiveness restores us frees us and
empowers us to live with a lighter heart aligned with God's will the sixth and
final secret is accepting God's will throughout his ministry Jesus
demonstrated that true spiritual strength and resilience come from complete surrender to God's will he
didn't just preach about the importance of doing the father's will but he lived it out in every decision and action even
when that will involved pain suffering or challenges that seemed impossible to
Bear one of the most profound moments where Jesus teaches us to accept God's
will is in the Garden of Gethsemane in Luke shortly before his arrest and
crucifixion Jesus prayed father if you are willing take this cup from me yet
not my will but yours be done this prayer of Jesus reflects the tension
between the human desire to avoid suffering and the obedience to God's will he didn't ignore the fact that the
path ahead would be difficult and painful but even so he chose to submit
to what the father had planned by saying not my will but yours Jesus teaches us
that true resilience lies in trusting that God's plans are perfect even when
we don't fully understand stand them or when they seem contrary to our desires
accepting God's will requires total surrender and deep trust in his purpose
another example of how accepting God's will strengthens us is found in the story of
Abraham in Genesis 22 1-19 God asked Abraham to do something seemingly
incomprehensible to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice Abraham did not question
or resist God's command even in the face of such a painful task
he obeyed trusting that God had a plan even if he couldn't see or understand it
at the time at the last moment God intervened and provided a ram for the
sacrifice showing Abraham that his faith and obedience were not in vain this
story teaches us that by accepting God's will even when it seems difficult we are
empowered to see his provision and Care in our lives accepting God's will also involves
letting go of our own plans and expectations in Proverbs 169 we read in
their hearts humans plan their course but the Lord establishes their steps
this reminds us that no matter how much we plan and try to control situations it
is God who directs our steps sometimes our plans are disrupted our desires are
not fulfilled and things don't happen as we imagined in these situations Jesus
teaches us to trust that God's ways are higher and wiser than ours what may seem
like a loss or a temporary failure is often part of a bigger and more perfect plan that God has for us acceptance of
God's will is not passive it requires action and Faith when Jesus called Peter
to walk on water in Matthew he challenged him to trust
completely in his word and power Peter began to walk but when he looked at the
wind and waves around him he became afraid and started to sink Jesus rescued
him and asked why did you doubt this episode teaches us that
accepting God's will also means keeping our focus on him even when the
circumstances around us seem threatening if we take our eyes off Jesus and focus
on the difficulties we begin to falter but when we trust fully in his will we
are strengthened to continue no matter the storms we Face another important
aspect of accepting God's will is recognizing that often he calls us to
wait in Psalm we are encouraged to wait for the Lord be strong and take
heart and wait for the Lord waiting can be one of the hardest challenges when we
are going through moments of uncertainty or pain we want quick answers and
Immediate Solutions but God in his wisdom often asks us to wait this
waiting is not empty but is a time of growth maturity and spiritual
strengthening while we wait we are called to trust that God is working in our lives even when we cannot see what
he is doing the story of job is also a powerful example of how accepting God's
will strength us job faced immense losses his health his family and his
possessions yet he continued to trust in God in the midst of his suffering job
said the lord gave and the Lord has taken away May the name of the Lord be
praised job this acceptance of God's
sovereignty in all things both good and bad shows the depth of job's Faith he
knew that regardless of the circumstances God was in control and his
plan was greater than any temporary pain in the end God restored everything job
had lost but the greatest gift was the spiritual growth and unshakable faith
that he developed by accepting God's will in every stage of his life Jesus
also taught us to pray for God's will in our lives in the Lord's Prayer he
instructed us to say your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven Matthew
this shows us that as we seek God's will in our lives we are aligning
ourselves with his kingdom and his greater purpose we don't pray for our own desires to be fulfilled but for
God's plans to be accomplished in us and through us this surrender strengthens us
because we know that God's plans are always for our good and for his glory as it says in Romans and we know that
in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called
according to his purpose finally accepting God's will is an ongoing Act
of Faith in every new season of life in every challenge or unexpected change we
are called to renew this trust Jesus showed us that even when God's will
seems difficult to Bear it always brings forth the fruits of Peace joy and
restoration when we accept God's will we find true resilience because we are no
longer fighting against circumstances but trusting that God is in control of
everything we have reached the end of this reflection on the secrets Jesus left us to be strong and resilient in
life we have seen how trusting in God praying constantly serving others having
faith in difficult times forgiving from the heart and accepting God's will are
the P that sustain us in any circumstance these teachings are not
just words but powerful truths that when applied to our lives transform the way
we Face daily challenges if this message spoke to your heart I to continue receiving Reflections that will help you grow spiritually and live closer to God with someone you know who also needs these words of
encouragement together we can spread the Light of Christ and strengthen each other in faith may God bless your life
