Growing In Resilience: A Prayer JourneyNäide

Resilience

‘Lord, I ask for the wisdom and discipline I need with which to grow in resilience’.

Resilience is defined by the American Psychological Association as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity or significant sources of stress. 

As believers, we are offered a resilience in the face of life’s storms that moves way beyond the traditional ‘stiff upper lip’ to the very depths of our being. Yet such resilience is not automatic. It involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that are learned and developed.
