Pushing Through Adversity
Through the Power of Prayer
Allows you to Recognize your Greatness Within (believe in your capabilities)
Adversity and failure for most people means coming to terms with their weaknesses and building lower expectations. Such people find ease in labeling different aspects and situations as impossible or unachievable. However, a person who prays doesn’t give in so easily. The very beauty of praying is “getting to know the person that you truly are!” So many people are stuck in life because they are unable to figure out themselves and as a result, they don’t know what they need to do to believe in their own self and their capabilities. In opening our hearts and minds and souls during prayers, we are challenged to grow, change, and to love. Just as we make time to spend with those we love, so in making time to pray we are seeking to grow in our relationship with our own selves. This bonding is crucial as it enables one to define their strengths and realize their goals which might have been overshadowed by their fears.
When a tough situation strikes us, we feel like drowning and make wild attempts at paddling our hands and feet to survive. In attempt to mitigate and escape the situation, we let go of our inner peace that might have kept us afloat the water. The same peace and tranquility can be regained with prayers. Owing to this fact, more than often, prayers can be life altering. The more time we spend praying, the easier it is to find our inner potential that we kept shying away from in the face of our fears. As soon as we pray, it is reflected in our character. Our habits and lifestyles change. We no longer live a self-centered life, but one that is focused on others with a pure and sincere heart. This in turn creates a gate way of opportunities and good will for us. Each time we believe in our capabilities and invest our energies for reaching our goals instead of succumbing to our weaknesses, our strengths grow manifold and soon we turn the tides of time in our favor.
