  Do you feel like fainting away?  Well, don’t.  

 ²⁹He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might He increaseth strength ³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall ³¹but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.

Remember Paul’s words–”I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but without Christ I can do nothing.”

The secret is in “in Christ.”  When you try to do things yourself, and solve complex problems alone, you will faint dead away.

So, how do you keep from fainting dead away from life’s challenges?

First, remember it is all in the attitude.  Positive or negative?  Is your cup half full or half empty?

Second, see life as a challenge not an impossiibility.  It is easy to think that nobody is going through what you have experienced.  You feel you are the only one, but this isn’t true.  The Bible says is I Corinthians 10:13:

¹³No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

So, hang in there!!
