5 Next Steps To Overcoming Tough Times

DAY 3 OF 5

Step 3: Let Go of What Didn’t Happen and Embrace What Can Happen

We’ve all had those times in our lives when we were expecting something to happen and it didn’t, only to leave us disappointed and even hopeless at times.

You thought the relationship would work out and it didn’t.

You thought you were next in line for the promotion, and to your surprise, it went to someone else. 

You put your trust in someone and they let you down. 

You thought a door of opportunity was opening for you, and then all of a sudden, for reasons out of your control, it slammed shut.  

When a door closes, quit standing there looking at it. This is not the end of the world, no matter how you feel about it. How you respond is the key to overcoming this moment. You have to learn to let go of what didn’t happen so you can get ready to experience what can happen. 

Today, decide to let go of the past so that you can begin to embrace the new thing that God has in store for you. Don’t spend anymore time re-living or rehearsing the thing that happened in your past. You can’t fix it or change it. The best thing to do is let it go.

About this Plan

5 Next Steps To Overcoming Tough Times

There are many obstacles, roadblocks and disappointments that we encounter on our journey in life while we are pursuing all that God has in store for us. We must learn that failure is not final and that set backs can become set ups for God’s plan to be revealed in our lives. Some circumstances may knock us down, but they can’t knock us out of the will of God. Through His love, His Word, and His guidance God empowers all of us to get back up, become resilient and overcome tough times.
