If God is going to be able to trust us with harder challenges , then we need to win the easier battles first.Compromising our beliefs, losing our temper or feeling sorry for ourselves won't solve the challenges at hand.It's in the way we learn to handle the little stresses that lays the foundation for handling the big ones. We must learn to affirm our faith in the God who had proved faithful in the past.Try to put hard times in the proper perspective by distancing from them emotionally.When facing problems, adjusting your attitude can be a precursor to adjusting your situation.When we put things in proper perspective, we see more clearly & we can fight more effectively.
