Do Not Give Up When Faced with Life’s Difficulties
We have to endure sufferings of every kind: hardships, painful situations, illnesses, death, spiritual trials, misunderstandings, temptations, failures, and so on. What should we do? If we want to be true to our Christian commitment and live it without compromising, we have to believe that those are the most precious moments in our life. Why? Because it is precisely when we are unable to overcome certain trials that afflict our body or soul – and therefore cannot rely on our own strength – that we are in the perfect position to trust in God.

✝️ Prayer to Trust God in Difficulties
Heavenly Father, in trials we often feel weak and defeated. Forgive us when we rely only on ourselves. Thank You for turning our hardships into moments of grace. Teach us to trust You fully, especially when we can do nothing else, so that our weakness may reveal Your strength. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
