How I Cope When Challenges Come

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13

When challenges show up in everyday life, I press play on the Scriptures. The Word soothes my mind. I put on gospel music, I sing to the Lord, I dance until I laugh. Hard times can weigh you down, but God made a way for His children to rest and gather strength in every storm.

His Word teaches me, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13), and that He will never leave me nor forsake me. I also go see my mother, my siblings, my nieces and nephews. It ain’t nothing like family. The prayer line lifts me too.

Hearing my Christian family pray and speak life puts a smile on my face.
