Focus on the Family with Jim Daly

The Power of Prayer to Defeat the Darkness of Abortion

Resilience is a life skill we need for the inevitable struggles we will face in this life — but we must be intentional about learning this skill. Valorie has identified some key “rules” for resilience — like “expect the unexpected,” and “focus on the vision, not the obstacle.” And “control the controllable and accept the rest.” Prepping ourselves beforehand to learn and live more resiliently helps us be more confident, content, and successful when difficult situations happen.
