Have you ever wondered how to overcome the setbacks that life inevitably presents to us? Every person on this planet experiences disappointments and setbacks. Life, in its unpredictability, throws curve balls that can easily push us down. Picture this, receiving distressing news about your health or facing the end of a relationship or even losing your job. These are setbacks that can leave us feeling deflated, discouraged and robbed of our enthusiasm.
It's all too easy to surrender, to accept our station and to settle. But what if I told you there was another way? To experience the best that life and God have to offer, we need to cultivate a bounce back mentality. This is the essence of resilience. When life knocks you down you don't remain on the ground, instead you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and stand tall once again. When disappointments loom, you shake them off, secure in the knowledge that what was intended to harm you will be used by God for your good.
Being a bounce back person means recognising that adversity is not a permanent condition. Yes, weeping may endure for a night but take heart, for joy comes with the morning. There is a promise of wonderful joy waiting for you on the other side of this trial, so stand firm, continue believing and choose to be a bounce back person. You are not just surviving, you are thriving.
You're coming out stronger than before, rising higher and moving closer to fulfilling the destiny God has in store for you. Now imagine speaking these words to the heavens. Father in heaven, thank you for your grace, mercy and favour. I ask for rain in the time of rain. I ask for an increase in your favour and blessing so I can be a blessing to those around me today and always. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen. That's the power of asking for rain in your life. That's the power of resilience and faith.
So why not make a difference in your life today? Why not ask for rain in your own life and see the transformation that unfolds? This is Michael Hopkins, the founder of Jehovah's House of Saints Homeless Mission, reminding you of the power of resilience and faith.
