We all have something to overcome. That’s why the Bible commands, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Karyn Hall is the author of The Emotionally Sensitive Person. In writing about the obstacles we must overcome, Dr. Hall says, “If you see obstacles as the world being against you or meaning you failed, then you are likely to be overwhelmed with painful thoughts and difficult emotions when faced with blocks to your goals.”
History is filled with men who learned to overcome.
- Walt Disney overcame poverty.
- Winston Churchill overcome learning challenges.
- Hellen Keller overcame blindness and hearing loss.
- Oprah Winfrey overcome childhood abuse.
- Abraham Lincoln overcame chronic depression.
- Franklin Roosevelt overcame polio.
- Ben Franklin overcame poverty.
Add your name to that list.
Recovery Step: You can overcome. It’s called grace. And hope. And recovery.
