How We Respond When Things Get Hard

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations

that are difficult, uncertain, or unfair.

“He did not threaten, but he entrusted himself

to the one who judges justly.” (1 Peter 2:23)

When things get hard,

we don’t always respond the same way.

Some of us become defensive—

trying to justify ourselves,

and at times even our very being.

Some of us go on the attack—

lashing out in anger or bitterness.

Some of us withdraw—

shutting down,

relinquishing hope.

But 1 Peter points us to another way.

In Jesus, we see someone

who did not react out of fear or force,

but remained grounded in who he was

and where he was going.

When things get hard,

we don’t have to defend,

we don’t have to attack,

we don’t have to withdraw.

We can keep moving forward—

walking in purpose,

centered in love.

Peace be with you.
