Developing Spiritual Resilience

As a senior, I have learned the value of spiritual resilience. This ability to be faithful despite adversity allows us to rely on God for help. Being human, we can feel discouraged by challenges. That is when the Devil tempts us to give up on God. Listening to him is like inviting him to visit you and giving him your home address. We can expect God to help us when we trust Him. When we do, we will pray to Him more sincerely and frequently. We will also develop our faith through church worship and service. Emulating Christ will help us develop the virtues needed to achieve His purpose for us. In every difficulty, we can ask what God wants us to do or learn, trusting He will grant us contentment and hope.
