Overcoming Obstacles

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

I know that some of you may be feeling discouraged right now. Maybe you've been facing challenges in your pursuit of purpose, and you're wondering if it's worth it to keep going. I want to encourage you today that it is worth it.

The Bible tells us that in this world, we will have trouble. But Jesus also tells us that he has overcome the world. This means that we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way because Jesus has already overcome it for us.

So, how do we overcome obstacles in pursuing our purpose? Here are a few tips:

Cry out to the Lord. When you're facing a challenge, don't try to go through it alone. Cry out to the Lord and ask for his help. He hears your prayers, and he will deliver you from all your troubles.

Be confident that God is with you. Remember that God is always with you, even in the midst of your challenges. He loves you and he cares for you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

Stand in faith that God will deliver you. When you're facing an obstacle, don't give up. Stand in faith that God is going to deliver you. He is faithful and true, and he will always keep his promises.

Here is a verse from the Bible that I encourage you to memorize and meditate on:

The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:17-18)

Remember, you can overcome any obstacle in pursuing your purpose because Jesus has already overcome the world for you. So cry out to the Lord, be confident that he is with you, and stand in faith that he will deliver you.

It is not too late to achieve your goals and live out your purpose. With God, all things are possible.
