Seeking God’s will in all that you do involves having discernment, which is the ability to choose between good and bad decisions. And yet, even with discernment, life can be difficult sometimes! While it can feel discouraging to go through hard times after trying our best to seek God’s will, we must learn that discernment doesn’t change the challenges we face; instead, it changes our ability to face them. So the next time you are facing something that feels overwhelming, take a deep breath and remember, God is bigger than what you’re facing. While there may not be an easy answer, or the outcome you want seems far away, get in the habit of reminding yourself that God is with you, and your ability to face challenges will grow! This week, ask your Small Group Leader or a trusted adult to share with you how God has helped them through a hard time in life. Ask them to help you remember that God will do the same for you.
