Trusting God In Difficult Times

In times of uncertainty, I've been learning that when the future is unclear and there's a 50/50 that life will unexpectedly take a wrong turn and leave you speechless with wonder, no matter what you do it is out of your hands. You can only control your attitude in a situation regardless of what will happen next. All you can do is just try and learn as you go, keeping a positive perspective in place and let the LORD sort it all out. Trusting Him with the details in your story that's still being written. It's not easy to do since nobody likes to feel powerless, but in this life anything can happen without warning. Therefore, in the midst of discouragement, disappointment, and hard times it's absolutely vital to just sit still in quiet surrender, waiting upon the LORD as He fights your battles and helps you find refuge in Him, and take life one day at a time as you learn to slow down and enjoy the simple, little things that bring you joy. Relish those times of rest and enjoyment as you savor the meaning of life and find purpose and freedom in subtle ways. Let your transformation and growth inspire you on your journey so you can look back and marvel at the lessons you've learned and use them as a testimony for others needing encouragement.

I don't know what will happen next or when it will happen but if or when it comes to pass, I'll have assurance that what's meant to be will be and look forward to what's better that lies ahead. And let my joy be fulfilled through sharing wisdom and encouragement for ears that need to hear and the LORD for His sovereignty through difficult and unprecedented times.
