It’s easy to feel like others don’t understand what you’re going through, especially when life gets tough.
But comparing your life to others or assuming things are perfect for them won’t help.
What matters is how you interpret your circumstances.
The Word of God gives us the right perspective. As Ecclesiastes 8:1 (NLT) reminds us, wisdom helps us see things clearly.
If we surround ourselves with negativity, our outlook becomes negative. But when we focus on God’s promises, everything changes, light shines in even the darkest situations.
Romans 8:18 (NKJV) assures us that our present struggles are temporary, and the glory to come is far greater. Challenges are part of life, but they’re seasonal.
As 2 Corinthians 4:7 (MSG) reminds us, hard times won’t break us, because what we carry within—Christ—can’t be defeated.
Whatever you’re facing today, frame it with faith. Focus on what you have, trust God’s promises, and remember that you are not alone.
Christ in you means victory is certain.
