I believe every Christian child of God struggles with one thing or the other. 3 things in life that can never balance are Career.. Religion and Family if you have one of those you struggle with another but in all this we should keep our focus on God and never give up the fight.. have seen people that have stable careers but unstable homes..stable Christian walk unstable family's. .... stable family unstable career, you can not have everything in life you must teach yourself how to be grateful in everything and keep your eyes on God.

ty for such inspiring words,,,God Bless

I don't know that they are mutually exclusive. Howevet each person sees the world a different way.
Welcome and God bless

If I may testify here: This has helped me through so much of life, an attitude of gratefulness. I find that if someone lets me down in any way, it is easier for me to brush it off when they have come through for me in other ways. Those other times tend to be what I come back to so that the one off disappointment(when it is a person close to me) does not have the power to ruin everything good between us. This helps me with family, friends, partners, and anyone I have shared substantial moments/memories with.

I agree, not everything goes the way we want. In my younger days, I would worry about everything. But, one day a friend told me to think of problems like water on a ducks back.. think of your problem, then think what is the worst case outcome. The worst outcome never happens so it seems not so bad.
I have gone through different things in life, from job loss to relationship break ups. But, I find by focusing on the good and trying to fix things, it always works out.
Have a great day.

Hard to leave this one alone...the whole idea started from throwing reindeer horns in the swamp to ensure a good hunt. Now of course Constantine was the great patron of Christianity and it became one of the world religions.

Friends if God is not there when you die, take comfort, you will never know.
And if he is, he will understand.....or he is not God...

God bless....

Amen
