Going Through a Hard Time? Be Strong and Courageous

Is life too much for you at the moment? Does the challenge you are going through feel hopeless? Today we will be using Donnie McClurkin's award winning song, Stand, to encourage each other. Hang in there, Thriving Generation!

Point 1: Struggling

It seems like many people are struggling with failure right now. We have set goals for ourselves, but we have been unable to complete them for a variety of reasons. Today, I am here to encourage you that the breakthrough is coming.

Do not feel guilty about failure. Nobody achieves success right away. It will take many attempts before you succeed. Brace yourself for failure, and be willing to forgive yourself when it happens.

Point 2: “Stand” by Donnie McClurkin

The song says, “What do you do when it seems like it’s never enough…when your friends turn away and you’re all alone?” The loneliness is often the worst part of failure. Just know that you are not alone in your struggles. “You just stand, and watch the LORD see you through.” Standing doesn’t mean you are giving up. Press forward, but trust that the LORD is guiding you down the right road.

Closing Thoughts

Even when life is at its lowest point, know that struggle is not permanent. Your success is just around the corner. “God has a purpose, and God has a plan.” Trust in the LORD, and he will see you through the hardships. Be strong and courageous, Thriving Generation!
