Today’s post gets personal because my faith is everything that I am. The one thing that is consistent for everyone is that life happens. There are good times and challenging times. My prayer and goal are to keep my faith consistent throughout. Here are 3 ways I find faith and hope in difficult times:

1. I know that I’m not in control - While my natural instincts want to control outcomes, which is what brings on worry and fear, I know that God is sovereign and in control. I can trust the outcomes to Him, and I know that he can turn any challenge into something good.
2. My faith is a safe place - I find peace in my faith. The world and everything going on around me can be in chaos, but I know my God is a rock and a safe place. I am comforted when I seek Him.
3. I’m not alone - Lastly, I’m not alone and you aren’t either. God is with us and never leaves us. He mourns with us and rejoices with us. He carries us through challenging times and if our focus remains on Him, He will lead us to victory.

My faith is my life. I don’t know how it would be possible without it and the more I let go and trust, walking in my faith, the more confident I have to persevere through life.
