My Response

Now that you have learned more about why God lets things happen and the importance of your responses to life challenges, you now have an opportunity to exercise free choice and decide how you will respond to your life challenge.

Did any of the 7 potential learning opportunities in the School of God resonate with you?

Which option will you try to work on over the next several days?

1. Unhurried – invest some time in your love relationship with Him
2. Soak Yourself in The Bible – spend some time in God’s Word
3. Prayer – pray for others who are experiencing life challenges
4. Love Gifts – look for ways to give and receive love gifts from Jesus
5. Commitment to Character – choose a character quality to start learning this week
6. In All Things Give Thanks – worship Jesus in song or Bible verse through your pain
7. Love and Encourage Others – share your hope, love, and encouragement with others

It will not always be easy, but it will always be worth it.

Start small. Choose one option and work on it just for today. See how it goes. If you failed, at least you tried.

Tomorrow, do the same thing. If it still feels weird or intimidating, ask God to help you with this.

You may even want to keep a journal so you can remember the awesome things you are going to learn in your life challenges.
