Finding Strength in What Remains: A Journey of Hope And Faith
Life has an unpredictable way of throwing curveballs at us – challenges that sometimes leave us feeling shattered and lost. Whether it’s the loss of a job, a friendship, or an unexpected life change, it’s easy to focus on what we’ve lost rather than what remains. Let’s take a step back together and discover the strength in what remains, inspired by faith and hope.
Embrace What Remains
When life feels like it’s falling apart, it’s natural to drown in sorrow. However, the Bible reminds us that God always leaves us with something to build upon.
“Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.” — Proverbs 24:16
Embrace the remnants of your life as the seeds of a new beginning. Every trial leaves behind a piece of wisdom, a nugget of strength, or a spark of faith to fortify our future. Rather than mourning what is gone, let’s focus on nurturing what remains.
Discover Your Inner Resilience
The remnants of a difficult period can be our greatest teachers. They remind us of our resilience and our ability to rise again.
Consider Job from the Bible, who lost almost everything. Still, his unwavering faith brought him blessings twice as much as before (Job 42:10). Your situation might look grim, but it’s the resilience within you that will reveal the light at the end of the tunnel.
Reflect on times you’ve faced difficulties before. What did you learn from those experiences? What inner strengths surfaced? Your current challenges are new opportunities to rediscover and sharpen these strengths.
Reflect and Rebuild
Reflection is a powerful tool when leaning into what remains. Take time to think about what is left, what you still have control over, and what blessings you overlooked.
Philippians 4:8 encourages us to focus our thoughts on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Use these reflections to rebuild. Moving forward means focusing more on what is left and less on what is lost.
Here are some reflective questions to guide your journey:
Ask yourself:
– What positives do I still have in my life?
– What lessons have I learnt from this adversity?
– How can these lessons shape my future decisions?
Use your answers to design a renewed path forward.
Keeping Faith When All Seems Lost
Faith is the anchor that holds us steady in the storm. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” When all seems lost, our faith in God’s plan provides the courage to keep moving forward.
You may not see the whole picture, but trust that what remains is part of your divine journey. The remnants are the framework for something greater than before.
Call to Action
Now that you’re focused on what remains, it’s time to take action. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. How have you found strength in what remains? What strategies have helped you rebuild after a setback?
Invite God’s guidance through prayer and reflection. Cultivate gratitude for the fragments that are still with you and anticipate the new growth that is on the horizon.
Remember, in every ending, there is a new beginning, and what remains is the foundation upon which God will build His wondrous plan for your life.
Hold onto faith, encourage others, and step forward into the future with renewed hope and strength. You’ve got this!
