Trials are the challenges we endure in life that test our faith, love, hope, and more. Being in trials can help us to create clarity about what's important and we can often gain a fresh, improved perspective. And also gain experience in handling trials so that we are more comfortable and confident going through them in the future.

Overcoming hardship makes us stronger. When facing a problem early on, we often wonder how we will overcome it. After succeeding, we gain strength and confidence that we can overcome anything. But to endure our trials, we have to;

Look to the lord first:

Looking to Jesus means relying on him. We put God first when we worship Him, praise him, thank him, trust him, and rely on him rather than ourselves or anyone else. When we seek God first, everything else falls into place. He is faithful to provide for our needs, guide us on the right path, and bless us beyond measure.

Pray and ask God for wisdom:

Praying and asking for wisdom from God in our lives will help us to overcome every trial in our way. As it is written, " But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given Him”. We need the wisdom to approach our trials properly. When we are wise, we will remember that God is in complete control of even the most difficult circumstances in our lives, and we will not be so quick to question His goodness to us through our trials.

Wait upon the lord:

Waiting upon the lord means fixing our gaze on Him, on His invisible and eternal qualities, on his character, and his love. This is an act of faith and trust in him. As the prophet Isaiah said, " But they who wait for the lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint”. While we are waiting faithfully on God, we are also allowing our hope to grow. And also helps us notice new things.

Throw off the things that hinder us and fix our eyes on Jesus:

Throwing off the things that hinder us will help us to endure trials. As it is written, " Therefore, since we are surrender by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. Fixing our eyes on God brings comfort to hard times by reminding us that fixing our eyes on God brings strength so we may carry on in wisdom, peace, endurance, and joy. May the good lord bless us. Let's keep on sharing and invite others for more updates.

Thanks for being with us.
