Don’t pray for God not to send the storm, but for strength to navigate through life’s storms. Understand that the storm is not sent to break you, but to help you find your strength and purpose in life. Life will deal with you by the measure of your faith, so best believe that you can overcome whatever challenges you are currently facing in your life.
Here are five (5) ways to navigate through life’s storms.
1. Stay calm in the storm
The essence of the storm is not to deter you from journeying on your course, but to help you find direction in life. Stay calm in the storm and don’t be discouraged from continuing on your path. Learn to stay calm in the storm knowing fully well that it is only for a short time, and will pass shortly. As you maintain your calm and composure, you learn to navigate through life’s storms.
2. Have faith in God
God being the Author and Finisher of our faith knows the beginning to the end. Who else would you rather have faith in than someone who knows the end of all things?! If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything and everything. You need to have faith in something, you can’t be a lukewarm. Have faith in God.
3. Keep persisting
Don’t give up now, the storm is only but for a little while. Keep being persistent on your journey and refuse to give up regardless of the many challenges you encounter. If you keep persisting on your course in spite of turbulences, you will navigate through the storm and find your peace. Keep persisting and don’t give up, the storm won’t last forever.
4. Give thanks for the storm
Change your perspective about the storm. Like we said earlier about the purpose of the storm, it is not intended to break you and make you lose hope in life, but to help you find your strength and purpose. Understanding that the storm is sent for your betterment should give you some peace and clarity to navigate through the storm. Knowing this, you should be thankful for the storm and not bitter. Give thanks for the storm.
5. The storm is over
Can you see the rainbow beyond the storm? The rainbow represents beauty and peace that emerges after the storm. The rainbow promises that better days are ahead of you. Your life is about to get better. Keep your hope alive and look forward to new beginnings. The storm is over now!
Say Amen!!
