Today we intend to build on the foundation laid yesterday. Take this walk with me, please.

Endurance requires that we deal with trials and tribulations in healthy ways. Our mindset comes into sharp focus at this juncture.

What is a mindset?

“A mindset is a belief that orients the way we handle situations- the way we sort out what is going on and what should be done.” Psychology Today

Your children could do the test too.

Our mindset is integral in helping us to identify opportunities. On the other hand, mindset can also trap us and cause us to function in cycles that are self -defeating.

I am saying that challenging situations can become opportunities. It is as the result of challenging situations that some of us found our life’s passion, career, calling, ministry and even business opportunities. It must be noted keenly that similar challenging situations have caused others to lose hope, lost their minds, lose direction and their sense of self even to the point of committing suicide.

How our children will persevere depends greatly on their mindset.

Tasks

Look at the result of the mindset test that you and your children did. Whatever the result is commit it to the Lord.

Pray for your children. Cry out to God on their behalf today.

Pray that they will not be defeated by trial and obstacles but will use them as stepping stones.

Hug them and prophesy the Word of God over them as it is written in Philippians 4:13 … Can do all things through Christ who strengthens them.

This Friday, May 18th will be celebrated in Jamaica as National Child’s Day. Make an investment into your children. Get them gifts that will affirm them.

Have a productive day .
