My Question for God

How does a positive attitude carry me through hard times?

A Moment with God

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Philippians 4:6

I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:11-13

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Hard times and life struggles are the raw materials for God’s mighty work in your life. Although it is hard to be thankful for the tough times, you can learn to be thankful in them. Your outlook on life determines how you view your problems. If you see them only as obstacles, you will tend to develop an attitude of bitterness, cynicism, and hopelessness. If you see them as a crucible for strengthening your character and convictions, you will learn to rise above them and even thank God for how he is refining you through them.

Divine Promise

If we are to share [Christ’s] glory, we must also share his suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.

Romans 8:17-18
