"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

Everything happens for a reason. I know sometimes it feels like things happen and you don't deserve them, but He has a plan for all of us. He is putting you through pain to teach you something, or to help you grow as person.

Never doubt His purposes because He will never put you through something you cannot handle. Trust me, you will come out of any situation better and stronger than you were before, and it's definitely worth it in the end.

"My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Exodus 33:14

Whatever challenges come your way are totally doable. Think about something you did or happened to you a year or two ago, and compare how you felt about it then versus now. It seems like such a small part of your life now, but at the time it may have felt like the end of the world. This feeling will not last forever and one day, you will rest.

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:8

Do not fear change. Do not fear growth. Do not fear that maybe something that happened was a mistake and wish you could go back in time and fix it. God throws hurdles your way on purpose, but he would never give you a hurdle too tall to jump over. There will never be a time when you are alone because He is always with you.

Everything happens for the better good, and, although it's hard to remember that sometimes, just keep pushing through whatever you are going through.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your Hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

Be confident in how strong you are. If you face every challenge with confidence that you can push yourself through it, then nothing is impossible. You can do anything with the Lord at your side. He wants you to be at peace, so strive for that in your life.

"And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security." Job 11:18

Do not focus only on the negative. Take a look around you and see what blessings God has given you. Nothing is so detrimental or challenging that you should ever forget about your family and friends whom you have been given to support you through these trials. Keep your head held high and with a smile on your face.
