Adversity

Do You Show Courage During Adversity?

We try to have courage when we are going through difficult times. Sometimes, it is hard to raise yourself against adversity. Occasionally, it seems everything and everyone is against you. At these times, you must remember God and good friends will always lift you. If a tornado strikes your home twice, you may think what did I do to deserve this? You did nothing as it was an act of nature, and nature will always do its own thing into eternity.

When Misfortune Knocks On Your Door

You may have an excellent job that you love, and one day, the company manager comes in and says we are declaring bankruptcy. Do you think anyone will ever hire me at age 60? We must remember when one door closes, another one always opens. A company may want to employ you because you have a lot of experience in your field. Getting another job may take a while, but do not give up hope. Sometimes a lot of people you love Dearly seem to die about at the same time in your life. You feel defeated and alone and want to cry and shut down. It would be best if you remembered they do not want you to die along with them. They want you to live a long and rewarding life. If you are in a horrible accident and lose your vision or you are paralyzed, you wonder why me? Bad things happen to good people. We have to find a new direction without the life we had before, which is very hard. We must dig into our inner soul and rise again in all adversity or tragedy.

Difficulty

All of us have difficult times that we may not want to face. Try to get through the difficult times and remember brighter days are ahead for you. As we age, we have difficulty accomplishing tasks that used to be easy. We must realize that we are not as limber and spry as we used to be. Make sure you hire someone to help you and be very grateful to them for their help. Every one of us needs help now and then. Never walk by someone who needs help, as the next person who needs help maybe you. Respect your elders, for you will be old much sooner than you think.

Serious Misfortune

Misfortune can come your way quickly. Help those less fortunate than you, and thank God daily for your many blessings. Help people who have misfortune. If a child dies before their parents, the parents will need your support more than ever. If parents have a child who is battling cancer, they need support to help them cope with what they see their child going through, and they need your prayers for their child’s recovery. Families have lost children in wars for years, and when they see a military man come to their front door, they know it is to tell them that their son or daughter died in battle. Help everyone you encounter or know with serious misfortunes or difficult and trying times. God bless those who need your love and support to help them with adversity.
