Encouragement For Women In All Situations

By Marie Watson


Everyone will face unique challenges at one point in life. These challenges make one to feel overwhelmed and in need of a solid ground on which to stand. It is only by finding this support base that a woman can fulfill her purpose and potential in life. Encouragement for women comes from the words and actions of others who have prevailed despite the nature of odds against them.

Ten Boon is one of the people who has been encouraging women through her chosen words. In her words, there is no point worrying about tomorrow. It only amounts to lifting the burdens of tomorrow today. You have not developed or generated the strength yet and will only preempt what tomorrow brings. Each day should be approached as it comes since there will always be a solution if an issues is tackled at the right time.

There is a lot of worry as people seek a more certain future. Ward Henry once said that everyone has an option when approaching tomorrow. One option is to hold it with anxiety while the other is to use the gloves of faith. Anxiety causes panic leading to loss of joy that would have been enjoyed today. However, faith brings hope and a promise for a better tomorrow.

Happiness is the most sort after state in life. Women use different avenues to find happiness. Fashion and grooming top the list. However, Mother Teresa had a different view. In her words, the best happiness is that which comes from the heart. To ignite that well of happiness, you must be kind to the people around you. This will create a network and environment of happiness around you that lives on beyond one episode or situation.

A woman will find herself on her knees, knocked down by a string of challenges. This is the worst things can get leading to confusion and discouragement. According to one anonymous writer, this position should not worry anyone. It is the perfect one to call upon the name of God through prayer. He will lift you up and make you mount on wings like eagles regardless of the challenge you are facing.

For Christians, the journey of life appears challenging to the point that you will feel like a stranger on earth. Vance Havner says that indeed this earth is not your home. You are just a saint making his way through the earth. Your destination is heaven that comes after overcoming the challenges of this earth.

Prayer is the best way to beat the odds of life. They keep you strong since you recognize God as your source of strength. One anonymous writer said that through prayer you can stand before any man or situation since you have been humble enough to kneel before God. In fact, no situation has been insurmountable to a person coming from a prayer position.

Jesus is a perfect example of how Christians should respond to trials. He was tortured on the way to crucifixion despite being God. However, something momentous happens in the end. Christ rises from the dead. This should be an encouragement to every woman that at the end of your struggle glory will be yours.
