There is no doubt we will all go through hard times. We will all endure heartache, loss, pain, and suffering. You have two options you can either give in and let the enemy win or you can praise God through the storm.
How can you praise God when you just lost a baby or lost a job? What if you are going through a nasty custody battle? You can praise God by allowing that to happen. It is in fact all a part of His plan . This is what I believe to be true.
Faith is trusting to God to do what he says. I can not always see the good in each trial I go through but I know without a shadow of a doubt that my God has my back. I know he is faithful and loving. My God will never leave me. My God doesn’t need me to be perfect. My God doesn’t need me to act like I have it all together.
nor forsake you.
-Deut. 31:6

Wow! Thank you, I needed this! God bless you for these words of encouragement and inspiration 🙂
Sometimes it is hard to see how tribulations change us for the best until a good deal of time has passed. Even with that positive perspective, we have to remember that it is okay to grieve loss.
It's hard to be positive all the time. Although you can still let your emotions show and have a positive attitude about them.
Oooo great read!! I definitely try my best to be positive most of the time, but unfortunately it doesn't always pan out.
Love this!! Thank you for this reminder, Brittany.
This is such a great reminder for everyone!
It is so important to shine brightly in darkness and to not let our lights be dimmed by the cares of this life. Thanks for this reminder.
A great post indeed, I am reminder and encouraged to remain faithful and continue to trust in my God.
Lovely words. I wish I had read this after I had lost my first baby. It was really hard to find any light then.
Thank you so much, I needed this. I get anxious and tend to forget to leave my faith in God. I want everything to work out but I need to understand that if it doesn't then it is meant to be that way.

Love your perspective of just allowing these things to happen because this is part of His plan, and trusting and praising Him while walking through it. Always something to thank Him for, even in the darkest of places. That's how we really become a light in this world. Beautiful encouragement and godly perspective in this post!
