“For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.” Hebrews 12:3
We must make it a routine, even a daily routine, to check ourselves and evaluate the difference between "really hard stuff" in our lives or simply "inconveniences" or "disruptions". The truth is that life is very hard and there are times that we are faced with extreme challenges, that require God's intervention of peace and understanding and comfort and wisdom. The fact also exists that we have a relatively smooth life most of the time that is simply filled with unmet expectations (that are not rooted in any factual basis) and also things that don't "go our way" and in the grand scheme of things, they aren't earthshattering. God cares about all of our challenges, no matter how big or small, but we need to check our resilience/grit and not make everything a "mountain" when they may simply be a "speedbump".
Lord, help me to realize that not everything that doesn't go my way is catastrophic and worth my time to worry.
