God does not always remove obstacles from our paths to make our lives easier; instead, obstacles are a part of the journey. They strengthen us and prepare us for the next phase of life. The Bible encourages us to bring our worries to God, and in return, we will experience His peace. The truth is, worry does not change our circumstances; it only makes us miserable, and honestly, it is such a waste of time. Even Jesus had to endure pain and suffering during his crucifixion; God did not spare Him from it because He knew that Jesus had what it took to overcome it. In the end, He was victorious, securing salvation for you and me. Jesus prayed to God for strength, which is what we must do when facing obstacles.
God loves you deeply. He holds the map of your life in His hands, and you are never alone on this journey. So don’t give up when obstacles come your way. Trust the God who has already equipped you with everything you need to finish the race. Let go of worry. Now is the time to rise, refocus, and continue walking with God as your guide.
‘Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. ‘ ~Philippians 4:6-7
