Hope Through Difficulties

We want to be self-reliant but we need to take an introspective look and ask for help if we are suffering. Jesus offers us hope so that we can be free. We need to be able to feel and express what we feel whether it is pain,failure or anxiety. We need to look at ourselves and not repeat the same thing or be defensive. When we are suffering, it is a sign to let God in. Be at peace with your self-evaluation and then get help. We are made to work with others. Our crosses draw us near to God so God allows difficulties so that we can get closer to Him. Jesus wants us to come in to our place of wounding and when we are filled with Him then we can  be healed and resolve our problems with strength, hope, determination,drive, and perseverance.
We cannot fix things on our own. We need to be resourceful and use strategies and get help from others as we help others when they need us.
We cannot deny our difficulties. We have to work through them and we need to persevere. We need to be humble and be at peace. In this way, the virtues of the Holy Spirit will be with us with more joy, peace, trust, hope, and courage. We need to have a growth mindset not a fixed mindset in order to succeed or to overcome our obstacles, to never give up! When we fall down in our difficulties and suffering, we need to use it as a process of healing and grace and try again in moving forward little by little.
Galatians 5:22
We need to process our difficulties and sufferings and we can begin to discover and heal them.
Others  can make it through others who have experienced what you have experienced so they can help you better because they have been there where you are at. That  holy person can be a contagion to you.  You can be a Eucharist to others and they can be a Eucharist to you. To doubt is OK to fear is OK. God is always working in us .Life is a process of healing and God's plan will provide continual hope and healing through His grace. To lose hope is a sin. But God does hear the cry of the poor and we must stay strong.
We need to go forward with joy and hope through our challenges of life.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
