Overcoming Obstacles: Hope Devotional

By Terryann Scott

Are you struggling with inner fears? Do you feel like giving up? It is never always easy to forgive someone who cost you pain or to step out in confidence after a broken relationship. It’s never easy to move pass the painful memories that lingers, but with a little guide and the right mindset it can be done.
Every person created here on earth is designed & destined for unique purpose. Before purpose can be identified & fulfilled, our hearts need to be healed & our minds renewed.
Overcoming Obstacles is an Inner Healing Devotional Guide for those who are emotionally and mentally challenged. It is designed for those who are struggling with their image and self-worth. It offers hope and encourages spiritual healing in practical ways that will lead to healing for the total man.
Overcoming Obstacles consists of fourteen devotionals that may be used daily or weekly as a foundational guide. It is not a complete guide on hope or inner healing, but rather personal insights that will assist the Christian Believer in discovering themselves in God while changing their outlook on life. Further reflections are encouraged. Are you ready for the challenge?

THE QUEST FOR HAPPINESS

deco line4.png

Life is full of many surprises dished in all kinds of packages.  Some of the surprises life offers come in the form of hurt, pain, misfortune, grief, sadness, happiness, success, fun, and so much more.  While these are all wanted and unwanted gifts dished out to us – some expected and others unexpected – we are left with the decision to choose how we respond to these surprises and how we allow them to affect us. 

One of the greatest lessons that life has taught me, is the importance of loving myself and being happy no matter what.

Quite often, people look for love and happiness in the wrong place.  We tend to look to others with the hope and desire of finding love and happiness to fill the void and empty spaces in our lives, but the truth about this however is, no one can fix us or make us feel better about ourselves if we are not healed from within. It is easy to hide behind the love we receive from others, but our problems will always surface until we learn how to deal with it.  

If you are feeling lonely, sad, hurt or unhappy, try shifting your attention inward to yourself to find the root cause for your emotions, instead of looking outward to others for a temporary fix. Involve God in the process and allow Him to help you to heal from within.  There are things we cannot accomplish on our own in life, but if we ask God to help us to overcome the challenges we face, He will.  Ask God to give you the ability to love yourself and the strength to be happy with who you are without the intervention of others, as you strive to evolve daily.

Stop depending on people to make you happy.  If you are unable to stand as a unit and be happy with yourself, you’ll be leaving yourself vulnerable to the risk of others as people will never always be able to make us happy; and if you are unable to find happiness within yourself, how then will you be able to make others happy?

You are special.  There is no one who can replace you because you were uniquely and wonderfully made by a Creator who loves and cares for you.

Change begins with you. Allow God to complete the work He began in you by ensuring that you do your part. Be obedient
