7 Ways to Keep Faith During Difficult Times

Desafios are a part of life, inevitable like mudança.

But, sometimes, it’s hard to keep the faith when the going gets tough.

How do you find Deus with the world’s weight on your shoulders?

How do you embrace O seu amor when fear and doubt cripple you?

Faith does not eliminate challenges. It may not even prevent them. But faith gives you the força e resistência you need to rise above and overcome adversity once and for all.

Here are 7 ways to keep the faith during trying times.

1. The Power of Prayer

Life gets hectic and we often forget to pray. It happens to everyone.

Though, we often come up with silly excuses – like not having enough time! But the truth is, you can have the most eventful day ever and still find five to ten minutes for prayer.

In fact, just five to ten minutes of prayer will make everything else easier.

Why? Because it calms the mind. It soothes the heart. It invigorates the spirit.

And, most importantly, it helps you find força (and comfort) during hard times.

It’s how you connect to God and nourish that ligação divina.

And, more often than not, it’s how you find orientação to overcome challenges.

“God is only a prayer away.”

2. Face Your Challenges With Purpose

Do you feel like every challenge and obstacle you face is unfair?

You try your best to do good, to ser good, yet still endure hardship.

Well, the challenges you face aren’t necessarily bad. Not inherently, at least. Every challenge helps you discover your pontos fortes e pontos fracos – and helps you grow.

That’s why it’s necessary to go through hardship with an vontade de ferro e objetivo.

Try to peer beyond the veil – beyond the current struggles.

Encontrar força e motivação in the growth you stand to gain by pushing forward.

3. Hope Is Stronger Than Fear

Fear can be crippling. It’s this all-consuming, seemingly unconquerable entity.

Yet, fear is a house of glass. One stone – and it all comes crashing down.

Por outras palavras, fear is an illusion. Which means that hope is stronger.

Hope is believing in yourself, in God, and trusting His Plan. It’s about focusing on favorable outcomes with autoconfiança and having the inspiration to tomar medidas.

All of that can be achieved with hope.

Hope is a solution-compelled energy that helps you problem-solve your way out of tricky situations and overcome challenges. And, more so, it helps you stay de espírito positivo.

So, cling to hope and let it be your shield when fear and doubt come knocking.

4. Look To the People Around You

No matter what you’re going through right now – não está sozinho.

Yes, God is always with you. But it’s not just God. It’s the people around you.

Your friends and family can provide apoio during challenging times.

So, don’t hesitate to turn to them and ask for help. Maybe you need love. Or maybe you need guidance. Either way, the people who love you can always lend a helping hand.

5. Embrace Kindness With All Your Heart

The world can be unfair, cruel, confusing, and evil.

When the odds are stacked against you, it’s important to embrace bondade.

Sure, it can be harder to find it, but your heart never lessens its glow. It’s just the clouds in the way. You can send them on their way with one little act of kindness and compassion.

But you may not feel up to it, especially if facing challenges.

But that’s exatamente why you should do it even more!

Kindness dispels negative energy and attracts vibrações positivas.

It inspires esperança dentro de si e à sua volta.

6. Reflect Gratitude

No matter how bad things get, there’s always a revestimento de prata.

You lose a job. Rough, sure. But that opens up an infinite amount of opportunities.

It’s all about staying positive-minded. And the best way to do that? Gratidão.

Gratitude is a spiritual shield. It reminds you of the good things in your life. And don’t trick yourself into believing that there aren’t any good things. Take a moment to think.

Count your blessings, from the food in your fridge to the ones who love you.

This increases your resiliência and helps you reduce stress e ansiedade.

It’s a one-way ticket to a life of felicidade e otimismo.

And, most importantly, fé.

7. Faith is Strength for Tough Times

Faith is meant to serve us during hard times and challenges.

It’s the one source of verdadeira força you can sempre tap into.

Few things are as spiritually potent as faith when facing hardship.

It guides you through the incerteza, paving the way forward.

It keeps you believing that there are better days ahead. And there are.

So, cling to faith when doubt clouds your mind and when you feel alone.

Remember its objetivo so that you may always regain it.
