In our life all of us may face some situations which we can’t handle. Here I’m going to tell you that we should let go of things which we can’t control. And how can we let go of these things? This act is difficult but few beliefs and steps can help us. So, let’s dive into it.
Kingship of God
We all know that we are living in the earth which is created by God. God created everything like skies, earth, animals, humans, forest, sea and the whole universe. Let’s think on a point that if God who created all of us can’t control or solve our problems?
I think God knows us more than us. So, we should trust Him because only He can understand us, gives power to face all the things bravely and can control things for us which we can’t handle.
Believing God as a Provider
We believe that there is a God who provides us everything. We are dependent on God for our living, life, health and many other things. So, we should have a firm belief that God is the provider, he will surely give us an easy in the life and all the problems will be solved.
Human’s mindset does a lot for human’s good or bad. If we make a mindset that only God can provide us comfort then we can easily handover all of our difficulties to Him. And I’m sure after this act our life will become easy to live.
God’s Strength during Weak phase
When we face issues, difficulties and hardships in our life then we become too weak to overcome them. The only way by which we can become strong and powerful is by having firm faith that God will control these unbearable things.
In the given bible verses God also told us that God is the strength. A person can get God’s strength by believing Him and His plans from the core of heart.
Best Timings of God
God has set the perfect timing for a specific thing. He has already decided that a thing will go to fulfill at a specific time. When we come to know that a time is coming where our problems will finish, then we become satisfied and can easily let them go because we can’t control them.
Healing by Acceptance things we can’t do
A part of life is difficulties and we put efforts to avoid them or remain protected from them. But we never succeeded in avoiding difficulties because they are from God. God sends hardships towards people to test them in belief.
So, when we face any kind of difficulty we should accept that it us from God and will definitely disappear after a specific Time. As a human has a special limit of life similarly hardships and happiness also have their own limited life. They will die at a specific time.
A man should remain steadfast and whatever the situation he should accept it and handover it to God. Life will become easier if a person remains peaceful instead of worrying about things he can’t handle.
The Power of Prayer During Hard Times
God has given us many ways by which we can bear difficulties. There are many ways to remain satisfied such as by believing in God, calming ourselves, accepting fate and praying from God to end these hardships. Have you felt satisfaction after praying?
I also faced many hard situations in my life and when I was tearing apart, I started to worship God and pray to end this situation. I felt relaxed after prayer. I know that it takes time to end anxiety, depression and difficulties but prayer makes it easy to bear and gives us calm.
Keeping Faith in God Over Fear
Hard times bring fear with them. A person feels fear that what is happening and what will come next, everything will finish, Life will end etc.
But if a person starts to believe that God will help him, He will handle the situation and whatever the circumstances God will overcome it then he will become relaxed and calm.
Thus we should always believe in God and never let fear overcome us and on our belief.
Doing Patience in suffering
Things will not be in our control all the time. A life is full of many different types of challenges. Some situations are in our control and we can easily overcome them but along with some problems are unmolding and not in our hand. So at that time we should be patient and wait until it ends.
Trusting God in Difficult Times
Do you guys know that a believer’s life is very beautiful not because he has a perfect life without any problems but because he has a firm faith in God. Suppose a person is in a dead situation but hopes for God’s mercy and love.
Would this person be afraid of anything else? I mean the deadly situation is the last point of pain but at that time he is relaxed because he trusts God and His plans.
Let me clear one thing that all the situations are from God even bad situations. So, a person should believe that this difficult time is from God and when his order comes then it will vanish.
