In life, how do we make the best out of a tough situation?

• The struggle is real: Hardships are a fact of life, sometimes we cause them sometimes they occur through no fault of our own.
• Do not forfeit spiritual freedom for worldly pleasures: Satan will try to lead us away from God using desires of the flesh.
• Do not live in fear, live through faith: Decision made in fear rarely lead to productive outcomes. We have a spirit of freedom, live life trusting God.
• Be saturated in scripture: We MUST set time aside for God. There is a direct correlation between time spent in scripture and seeing God at work in our lives.
• Be steadfast in prayer: Speaking to God is important but it equally important to listen God in prayer. We are protected from Satan when we pray.
