Let’s be honest—grief and life’s hardships can sometimes feel overwhelming. Our thoughts can spiral, and we may start imagining the worst-case scenarios, making things feel heavier than they truly are.
But here at Grief Coach University, we believe in looking at struggles through a redemptive, hope-filled lens.
What if we started seeing problems as challenges to grow through, not just obstacles to endure? Every challenge you face holds the potential to teach, shape, and strengthen you. With God’s help, you can turn today’s pain into tomorrow’s purpose.
Even if the road feels long right now, these difficulties won’t define you forever. As you face them step-by-step, you’ll gain wisdom, courage, and resilience. And if some challenges stick around longer than expected, you’ll continue learning new ways to cope and thrive—even if it’s just one small step at a time.
That’s the growth mindset in action—rooted in God’s truth and power.
Let this truth echo in your heart today:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13
Say it aloud. Again. And again. Because it’s TRUE.
When facing a hard moment, don’t start with the problem. Start by remembering who you are in Christ. You’ve already overcome so much in your life. You’ve made it through situations that once seemed impossible, and you did it by God’s grace.
But maybe you didn’t give yourself much credit—or maybe you forgot to thank God for how far He’s brought you. And that’s okay. Today’s a new day to reclaim your strength and recognize your growth.
Catastrophizing happens when we see the problem but forget our progress. But Scripture encourages us to fix our focus:
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” – Philippians 4:8
Today, choose to think about what’s true:
You are growing. You are healing. You are becoming stronger and more resilient.
Here are journaling prompts to help you reflect and realign:
Am I catastrophizing too often?
What thoughts are standing in my way?
How can I remember God’s strength in me and walk forward with more hope and confidence?"
You’re not alone. God is with you. And at Grief Coach University, we’re here to walk beside you every step of the way.
