If there is something I have actually come to discover about this life, it is the fact that hardship and suffering are actually part of life. A lot of people always go through pain, they go through sickness and lots more that life becomes unbearable for them.
I personally at some junction of my life have faced some hard times in my life that was really overwhelming. The bible is actually my anchor. Whenever I look at the scripture, I alwUs find my solution in the bible. It always helps me to overcome any difficult moments or situations I am passing through.
There are a whole lot of solutions to overcome hardship and suffering which I will be sharing with us. Some from my own personal experience and others vice versa from the scripture. The first solution I will like to actually recommend is that you should trust in God completely.
The Bible says in Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. When you learn not to depend on what you see or feel but depend on what God is actually saying from His word, it helps you to depend on God completely.
Another solution to overcome hardship and suffering which most of the time we always want to run away from is prayer. Prayer for me I see it as a powerful way that we used to speak to God. In Philippians 4:6, the Bible says, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
No matter the tough time I am experiencing in my life, I never joked with prayer. I know fully well that as far as I can pray to God, he will hear my cry and help me overcome the hardship and suffering.
Then the last one which I will like to talk about which most of the time we don't want to talk about is to be patient. Hardship generally does not last forever.
James 1:3-4 says that the trying of our faith produces patience. I know that waiting is not easy, but patience helps me grow stronger. It teaches me to endure and not give up quickly.
