So, we averagely believe that difficulty is a curse, but in the real sense, it’s not, it is part of life. It can only be a curse when a person encounters it and remained in it. However, remaining in difficulty or coming out of it is our decision to make. So, another top secret to defeating and overcoming our difficulties is to ‘rule our fears’. What does it mean to rule your fears? It means to demystify and discredit every worry-factor, doubt, and nervousness in times of difficulty, and understand that it’s a temporal visitor that would definitely go away.

SCRIPTURE: Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. (1 Peter 5:7 NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, beloved, you don’t have to shy away from the fact that difficulty happens to you, but learn to pull up a strong mental attitude to resist it. Yes, you may be down with some bad breaks, but that’s not how your story would end. After all, it’s not your fault that you got knocked down, but it’s your responsibility to get back to your feet. You can’t stop difficulty happening to you, but you can always defeat it whenever it raises its ugly head to strike. Know it that difficulty is an enemy of your destiny, so, don’t ever give it the chance to sour your future. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: If you’re going to defeat your difficulties and fulfil your purpose in life, you must learn to rule over your fears.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, learn to be calm in times of difficulty and know it does not last forever.

PRAYER: O LORD, give me the grace to defeat every difficulty in my life, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)

PROPHETIC WORD: May God take away every trouble in your life, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: 1 Peter 5:7
