How do you respond to pain?

It is important to note and ultimately fix our response to hardship.

How to respond to pain:

Master the vocabulary of hope and refuse despair.

Control our perspective; discern what to diminish and what to magnify.

Demonstrate complete trust in God; sleep in the storm!

Two practical ways to handle crisis:

– Assess the worst-case scenario and come to the conclusion that you are victorious (Romans 8:37; Is. 43:18)

– Set joy before you (Psalm 34:1) Despise the shame and look to Jesus (Hebrews 12:2)
