This Too Shall Pass

Whatever you're facing right now is just temporary. Some of the experiences we go through are God's way of testing us; these are the trials and tribulations He mentioned we would encounter, regardless of your level of dedication.

Regardless of the religion or belief you adhere to, a test will arise. What truly counts is how you handle it.

Then there are other instances. These aren't tests from God; rather, they're times when we made incorrect choices that led to consequences. And that's okay too. Life is a journey we're all trying to navigate. Although we have a guide (God's Word), we don't always adhere to it. Sometimes we stray from the straight path and need to reroute or make a U-turn to find our way back.

Relying on God and His promises has helped me navigate through challenging periods in my life, including marriages, situations with my children, work-related issues, and even my own thoughts. God assures us that He will not give us more than we can handle, even when it feels overwhelming. He has always made a way, even the times I didn't think I deserved. He never left me and never allowed me to fall.

Prayer changes things. Spending time in God's Word changes things, Meditating on God's Word changes things. Being still and listening and watching to hear and see what God is showing you regarding your direction and those that surround you changes things.
