Life is filled with surprises! Sometimes these surprises can be difficult obstacles to overcome. The stress level in today’s society has reached an overwhelming high. Daily life is filled with everyday normal tasks, but it also has traffic jams, road rage, accidents, toxic people, financial issues, health problems, busy schedules, doctor appointments and more. It’s often difficult to stay motivated throughout the day. The following scriptures will help you feel encouraged when you are having a difficult day.
