Finding Balance
Maybe you have challenging relationships with adult children, difficult people, toxic relatives, or even with food. Perhaps you’ve experienced an internal struggle with painful memories or emotions, with stress, expectations, or habits. When setbacks happen in life, we can’t give up. We can regain balance! God is always in control, and He will never give up on us—so we mustn’t give up on Him, on ourselves or on the people in our lives. The Bible teaches that we can do all things through Christ, who gives us strength. SANITY is possible—one step at a time!
The Six Steps to SANITY Can Change Your Life!
No matter what trial or tribulation we might experience, no matter how insane the situation may seem, God loves us and wants the best for us. He does not cause bad things to happen, but He sometimes allows them to happen for a purpose that we don’t always see clearly. The older I get, the more I realize that life doesn’t get any easier … we just get wiser about how we view it. It’s all about perspective. I’ve often had to change my perspective in order to regain balance in my life and set healthy boundaries with my own thoughts and actions. Practicing these SANITY steps can help us find balance, especially when life spins out of control.
