Every great man and woman on the planet earth today has a story to tell. It is easier to envy them and desire them after they are made, but nobody cares to know what they have been through. Dear friends, let nobody deceive you that life is easy and cheap, there will be good moments and there will be seriously bad moments, but here are some tips on how to overcome such moments. Remember that the economy on its own can add to the bad moments of an average person at this time where money is not easy to come by and even the little you are able to gather has lost value in the market.
There is a saying that tough time do not last, but tough people do. Being tough is not just a thing of physical strength; it requires a very strong will to overcome any tough situation that comes your way.
Secondly, you need to stay in a positive atmosphere like the church. No matter how depressing your situation is, please do not stay away from the church, somehow God has a way of communicating hope to you during church services. Keep friends and association of positive people. Some people naturally are hope killers; their words can render you completely hopeless and fearful, identify such people and run far away from them. Rather, choose people who still see good in your situation.
Thirdly be in charge of your thoughts. There could be time that your mind may be playing pranks on you, making you feel miserable and hopeless. When such moments come, use the word of God to deal with it. Remember that the bible says that there is hope to them that are joined to the living and a living dog is better than a dead lion. This means that no matter how terrible your situation is, you are better than those millionaires and successful people who are dead. Therefore, do not allow your mind to cheat you, because when you have life, you have hope.
Lastly, never think your case is the worst. When you manage to listen to other people's stories, you will laugh over yours. Always tell yourself that someone, somewhere, has been through that thing you are going through and they are out of it. So comfort yourself and laugh over it that you too can overcome your own bad moments.
Allow me to round up with this, you need prayer, no matter how terrible your situation is, even though there are moments you are too burdened to pray, but please try to say something to God. No matter how short or uncoordinated your words are, just pour out your mind to him, he surely will understand and hear you because he loves you too much to lose you to hopelessness which is the bedrock of depression and suicide.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, KEEP HOPE ALIVE.
