Not Allowing External Circumstances to Change our Hope

The recession of 2008 hit a lot of people really hard. The stock market crashed, the real estate market plummeted, and many people lost their jobs. During a time like that, it can be hard to maintain unwavering hope, especially when feeling unsure and unsteady.

But during a time such as this, hope, faith, and trust that things will be ok are important things to never lose sight of. We need to stand strong in our faith, and trust in ourselves as well. God will give us the strength we need at the times we need it the most.

Resist temptation to give in to impure thoughts during this time, such as negativity, cynicism, and gossip, as this will only hinder perseverance. Save your strength to pray, and make sure to focus on the positives as much as possible.

It is during tough times, that our strength and perseverance are made stronger.
