Life isn't always easy.
When things take a turn for the worse, it can be incredibly difficult to see the light in the situation. All of the negative emotions imaginable come out to play - fear, doubt, worry, anxiety, etc. and they can consume you if you let them. What ends up happening is that we are so afraid to feel these emotions that we wall ourselves up trying to control the situation. Unfortunately, you can't avoid these hard times in life and they will find their way to you no matter what. What's the way out?
Through.
We must go through these things.
For many of us, we must grip onto our faith.
There's something amazing that happens when you decide to face your greatest fears without letting them own you. You learn whey are are made of and further learn that you can go through the worst and trust yourself to get out onto the other side of things. That building of trust in yourself can take you really far as life continues to up its game on you and challenge you with tougher situations every single day.
Can this experience be very painful at times? Absolutely. But when we start to link into the darker energies of life, we give ourselves a chance to compassionately cope with the things we may not have given much attention to in the past. These past events and unsightly emotions will come knocking at our door consistently, and we can continue to pretend as if they do not exist or we can kindly allow them in and start the conversation that has long been required.
Hard times will test your faith, but isn't that the point of having faith when it comes down to it? We all need to have something that we can go to no matter any challenge that comes our way. So run to your faith when times get dark...you will always have a light.
