As you go through life do you ever run into stumbling blocks when you are trying to reach a goal or destination? From my own experience I have learned that these stumbling blocks that often make life challenging, actually present opportunities for learning and growth.
Take for example the stumbling block of Fear. This has been a big one for me. Fear of failure, fear of speaking in front of people, fear of making a fool of myself, fear of losing my friends, fear for my children and the choices they are making, and the list goes on. The only way one can overcome fear is to gain enough courage, self confidence and faith in ones self and in God and face those stumbling blocks one at time.
As I have exercised faith and prayed to overcome obstacles in my life I have found that my Savior Jesus Christ has given me the strength to move forward with the confidence that I can do hard things. I am not saying this will be easy, (in fact it may be the hardest work you will ever do) but….. you can push those stumbling blocks out of your way and achieve those goals you are striving to reach if you truly have the desire.
I testify that God loves you and wants you to succeed. He will help you if you ask in Faith.
Philippians 4:13
” I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Knock those stumbling blocks out of your way!
