Pushing Through AdversityÂ
Through the Power of Prayer
Allows you to Embrace Adversity with a Positive Mindset to see Opportunity
The ability to see things in a positive light when going through adversity is one of the best attributes of prayer. Tough times can be scary and take their toll on a person’s ability to see their own worth. Their minds are clouded with negative thoughts and fears. But as they kneel down and pray, each knot of these fears opens up one by one. It is just like finding calm in between chaos. Instead of feeding one bread crumbs of doubt, hesitancy and hopelessness, if one simply closes their eyes and resort to praying, they are able to open their minds towards positivity.
It is a typical response of each human being to either fight, flight or freeze when facing any situation that may threaten them. The same happens when they are met with adversity. Fear can be very captivating and hinges the capability to see things clearly. As the ability to ruminate and reflect is put to a halt, the person finds themselves in a graver danger than ever before. This is where prayers come to our rescue. While they might seem like a minuscule and feeble attempt to make the best out of a worst situation for many, the power of praying can be infinite. When we finally sit down to pray, a sense of calmness and relief takes over. The absence of no sound but your own thoughts means tranquility for the person who is praying. This serenity then divulges across his whole body and easily breaks down the ice shards of fear that have kept his mind frozen due to fear of uncertainty. The person is met with a realization that there is still hope and positivity.
