Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
Life comes with difficult phases in life. A fees of mine has been losing my father, my children moving out of the house, and recovering from cancer. But through all of that I had hope. Because I believed in the promises of God.
The assurance of His presence and His willingness to help if we ask Him gave me the confidence to face these challenges. Knowing there was something bigger than me and what was happening was key.
When I find myself in desperate situations, I know I can turn to God trusting that He will provide peace and comfort. I like the Verse in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9,
“We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed, perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed.”
The reality of facing difficult and challenging times is being encouraged and assured that even though I may be pressed m every side, I will not be crushed by the weight I feel in difficult times.
When facing difficult times Jesus invited us to come to Him. He promises to give us rest and ease the burdens that weigh us down. He offers to teach us and guide us through difficult phases in our lives.
