Someone said, life is all about problem solving. Another tried to quantify life to be 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.<br \/>\nWe should not be afraid although we know there&#8217;s much to fear.<br \/>\nThose who struggle on their own to meet up with the demands of life will certainly say life has been so hard. For those who entrust their lives to the creator God and ask him to lead as they follow will say&#8221;it has been challenging at times, but success is always sure to come&#8221;. They will be moving mountains long before they even notice. Our savior Jesus in one of his teachings told his followers this &#8220;come to me all you who are weary &#8230; Take my yoke and put it on you.&#8221;(Mt 11:28-30). He certainly understood that life can&#8217;t be all smooth. As Christians, difficult moments come to test our faith. And Jesus tells us like he told his disciples to remain steadfast because he has defeated the world.<br \/>\nMany are those moments we have been crushed in our spirits and have thought that it was all a waste of time living and trying to survive.<br \/>\nWhen such moments come, look back at how far you have come and tell yourself &#8221; I just can&#8217;t give up now&#8221;. That is a deep profession of Faith( not living by sight, but hoping for things unseen). It is true that sometimes hope is frail, but it&#8217;s hard to kill. Let&#8217;s keep living in hope and we will experience miracles.<br \/>\nBecause I know someone who said cast all your burdens and cares on me and I&#8217;ll give you rest, I believe he can&#8217;t take me so far just to live me hanging.<br \/>\nLife may have put us face to face with very difficult challenges and we have thought of giving up. But one interesting thing is that God has always been by us. Not because We&#8217;ve been too upright that I know, but because I think he needs us to experience his power in a greater dimension. How do we expect to achieve this success if we don&#8217;t keep trying?.<br \/>\nWhen your back is against the wall and nothing seems to make sense just look up to He who is always there and ask for strength. As Christians we should be aware that there will be mountains in life that we will have to climb.<br \/>\nWe have been told that the road won&#8217;t be easy.<br \/>\nBut we have a father who can&#8217;t abandon us along the way.<br \/>\nHe didn&#8217;t bring you this far to leave you.<br \/>\nSo victory or defeat is left for you to decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s so overwhelming how we struggle to face life with its unending challenges.
