Are you facing obstacles in your life

What is your biggest obstacle in life? Is it your schedule? Is it another person?

Obstacles in life create road blocks on our journey. These obstacles can be anything from a temporary situation to a life long issue. How do you deal with those road blocks?

One of the ways to overcome adversity is to try and handle the situation alone or with the help of others. When it comes to time conflicts, a person may need to reprioritize their schedule. If the challenge comes from another person, this can be a bit more delicate. You cannot "handle" another person. You cannot make someone do or stop doing something. People are accountable for thier own actions. Immature adults can create animosty in relationships. They can be difficult if you are trying to maintain a healthy relationship. Have you heard of the them: "high-maintenance" individuals? Those people in your life that require a lot of attention and at times they can get on your nerves.

Most people choose to avoid the obstacles. After all, who wants to be in high maintenance relationship or deal with an overbooked schedule?

If you are facing an obstacle in your life, remember you are not alone. There will always be those situations in life that try your patience. Conflict and challenges are unavoidable in life. Keep in mind, this is a world that sin has entered. People are not perfect. You and I are not perfect. Relationships will have conflicts. Situations will be challenging.

When life becomes challenging, ask God for patience. God can work wonders when you're on your knees. Pray continously. Ask God for a stronger faith. Ask Him for the strength to endure.

During these times of trials, God is building your character. You are becoming stronger, your faith is being stretched. As you climb this mountain, you will reach peaks and valleys. In time, you will be able to reflect and see God's mighty work in your life. Those obstacles won't be such an obstacle anymore.
