Happily Ever After: And Everything Beforeనమూనా

Sometimes life feels like it’s getting the best of us. We face difficult circumstances and overwhelming emotions, and suddenly, it feels like we’re fighting just to get by. Those feelings of anger, fear, worry, or sadness seem like they’re taking over, and that can make happiness feel nearly impossible to find.

As followers of Jesus, we know that we don’t get a pass from difficult things in this life. The struggle is real, and that’s a part of life no matter what we believe in. But Scripture reminds us that when we do follow Jesus, we find the faith and resilience we need to persevere through difficulties. Even when we feel like we’re down and out, the fight is never over, and we’re not alone in it, thanks to Jesus.

This week, work to memorize 2 Corinthians 4:8-9. The next time you face a difficult circumstance, challenging struggle, or overwhelming emotion in life, say it aloud to remind you that you can and will get through it with the help of Jesus.
