Those of us who study the laws of attraction and abundance and energy work often come to believe there is a reason behind EVERYTHING that’s happening amiss in our lives. We become convinced that if things aren’t going our way, if angels aren’t running to keep us from stubbing our toes on every rock, that we must be doing something wrong.
The fact is, we’re living in a fallen world. Bad things happen to good people. I think we need to stop over-analyzing everything. You’re doing your best, keep going, have faith that things will work out. God’s got a happy ending in store for you, and every hero by definition must face some opposition to be a hero.
The important thing is to keep trusting in Jesus Christ. Having faith in Jesus Christ is not faith for a specific outcome. All the faith and trust in the world can’t prevent bad things from happening or keep other people from harming you. Things happen and people have their freedom to choose and many times those aren’t good choices. Faith is not a free pass.
Faith in Jesus Christ is trusting that through everything He will stand beside you, lift you, carry you, lighten your load. And that one day after this mortal life all our tears will be wiped away, all the dead will live again, and all our losses will be made up.

How the Challenge Works
Step 1: Ask God each day,“What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”
Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.
Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.
Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
For ongoing support and a place to share, please join our Facebook group.
