In these trying times, do not forget this reminder.

1. You will come out stronger. You’ve been there before, you had situations you never thought you will come out of, but you did. We’re always tested so we can learn how to stand on our own two feet.

2. God will break through it. Do not be overwhelmed by the storms of this life. uplift yourself on God’s promises and anchor your faith that “HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU”.

3. Healing takes time. I know you have been hurt before and continue being hurt today. Do not rush the process, the sun doesn’t rush the flowers to grow, it gives them light while patiently waiting for them to bloom in the right season.

4. Finding what’s really right for you is a long and tumultuous journey. We are all work-in-progress, if you are in the starting point then continue learning all the basic things you need to survive. If you are in the middle and the “know-it-all-already-person” then find someone to share your skills to improve and to continue mastering your craft and If you are in the master stage, do not forget to learn something new and train others to do so.

5. It’s not a delay, it’s a redirection. Talk to God if you don’t understand why certain things aren’t happening or why certain blessings are delayed, somehow he will give you the reassurance that your patience will pay off, that he is planning something far bigger and greater than what you had hoped for. You will understand, in time, that maybe you weren’t ready to receive what you wanted when you really wanted it, you will understand that the things you wish or pray for change over time. You grow and you realize that what you wished for a year ago is totally different than what you wish for now. (via @ Rania Naim)
