How do you want to tell this story?

When I go through hardships, I like to pause and ask myself how I would like to tell this story later. If my trial involves other people, I ask myself how I would like them to recap the story. Then, I ask God to give me the proper perspective and the ability to live according to His will. Once I am clear on my intentions, I can take the necessary steps to go through the trial as a warrior for God.

Our trials either bring out the best in us or the worst. When we are in pain, overwhelmed by our circumstances, it shakes up our lives. Something is going to spill out of us during the trying times. The good news is that we can decide what will come out of us.

I want to go through my trials in a way that pleases God. When tested, I want faith, hope, and love to spill out of me. I want to endure and come out of the trial, shining my light into the world’s darkness. In all things, I want to show others a little glimpse of my God.

While I don’t know how to do this on my own, when I cry out to the Lord, I know that He will help me. He doesn’t want us to go through our trials alone. God is always one faith call away.

Walking through our trials with the Lord is such a blessing. He gives us what we need when we need it.

Sweet friend, God handpicks each trial for us. He knows what we need. Therefore, instead of fighting it, I try to embrace it. When I humble my heart and ask God to help me navigate the trial in a way that pleases Him, I can praise God through the storm.
