"New Year, NewAdversity?"
Let's be honest… Last year's adversity doesn't know it's a new year. It doesn't magically disappear just because the calendar changed. As long as we let it linger, it will stay. It won't rest because you're tired. It won't ease up because you're worn down. In fact, adversity feeds on doubt, negativity, and the energy we give it, and too often, we give it far too much. When we keep looking over our shoulder, we lose the momentum meant to carry us forward. I know from a place of experience. I know what self-doubt feels like. I know what it means to sit in that quiet space of fear, to feel sorry for yourself, to hesitate because of the emotional beating you just survived. So, the alternative must become non-negotiable.
We must refuse to give up.
We must refuse to walk away.
We must refuse to let adversity define or defeat us.
Because here we are. Still standing. Still moving. Still breathing. Still fighting. Take a moment and really think about it. You've already faced things you once believed were insurmountable, and you overcame them. That didn't happen by accident. It happened because you have something in you that wants more. Because you trusted your path. Because you believed you could. Because you are capable. Because you are more than the adversity in front of you.
So today, choose to believe it again. Believe that you are stronger than your past. Believe that growth is still ahead. Believe that with God as your companion, you will never walk alone.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is from Proverbs 3: 5-6.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Have a great year ahead everyone.
