7 Ways to Keep Faith During Difficult Times

挑战 are a part of life, inevitable like 变化.

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

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

How do you embrace 他的爱 when fear and doubt cripple you?

Faith does not eliminate challenges. It may not even prevent them. But faith gives you the 强度耐力 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 强度 (and comfort) during hard times.

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

And, more often than not, it’s how you find 指导 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 good, yet still endure hardship.

Well, the challenges you face aren’t necessarily bad. Not inherently, at least. Every challenge helps you discover your 优势弱点 – and helps you grow.

That’s why it’s necessary to go through hardship with an 钢铁意志目的.

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

查找 强度激励 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.

换句话说、 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 自信心 and having the inspiration to 采取行动.

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 积极的心态.

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 – 你并不孤单.

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

Your friends and family can provide 支持 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 仁慈.

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 正是 why you should do it even more!

Kindness dispels negative energy and attracts 积极的振动.

It inspires 希望 你的内心和周围。

6. Reflect Gratitude

No matter how bad things get, there’s always a 一线希望.

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? 感恩.

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 复原力 and helps you reduce 压力焦虑.

It’s a one-way ticket to a life of 幸福乐观主义.

And, most importantly, 信念.

7. Faith is Strength for Tough Times

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

It’s the one source of 真功夫 you can 始终 tap into.

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

It guides you through the 不确定性, 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 目的 so that you may always regain it.
