Sometimes we can get very confident in life when we’ve been so lucky as to never experience anything bad. We look at others and think, “That could never happen to me”. The reality is that it could happen to you at any moment.
Life, God, and the Universe are teachers, and they get our attention in painful ways. You can be stuck in a teaching moment for a day, week, or years. It all depends on how fast you can learn the lesson.
It’s important during these times not to lose hope.
We like to call hope faith, but when you are in the moment of the fight, you tend to forget the teachings of faith. You may realize that you truly don’t have faith, even though you thought you did.
When we forget our faith, we become hopeless, which leads to depression. Depression is a monster that needs to be fought every minute of the day. You can’t allow yourself to be defeated by the monster. During these times, it’s good to be outside, smell the fresh air, and run your bare feet in the grass.
The goal during this time is to enrich your faith by studying those who have overcome bad situations. Don’t try to copy what they did; just be aware of the circumstances they faced that ultimately led to hope and relief.
