Do you know how strong you are? EDITED.

This is the discussion "Do you know how strong you are?" EDITED. I've already reported that one to be deleted so please answer this one, THANKS! When life gets hard, we sometimes underestimate ourselves and doubt our worth to endure some hard times. But more often than not, I believe we persevere. As long as we haven't given up breathing, I think we are still somehow persevering. And over time, we'll look back and say, "hey, I survived, I did it". This sometimes even goes for the physical body, not just mental. My father's friend had a few minor heart attacks in his life and after a while, his heart created a new vein to replace the clogged one. Another man, I heard was paralyzed for life but he kept exercising his hands that it ended up creating a replacement tissue in his brain to help him move again. When was the last time you surprised yourself with your strength? How did it feel?

I know I can be as strong as Jesus Christ because He says I can be as strong as Him in John chapter 14. And when I am weak, I depend upon the unfailing strength of the Lord to see me through. Thus, I know I am strong and can take on anything (though some times it appears I may not) and I rely daily on the Omnipotent God for my strength.

(I keep trying to tell people that if they just pay attention to how they write things there won't be a problem with deletions) When life gets hard it does show us for who we are. I am nearly 60 and I have known some real hard stressful times. It has taken its toll on my body. I am on two medications for depression now and panic attacks. Allergic to stress.

Yes the two stories you mentioned are amazing indeed! As for me I have been struggling for a while but absolutely nothing compared to the two you mentioned. I keep motivating myself saying that someday I will look back and say that I made it regardless...

Wow the 2 stories you mentioned were amazing! I went through a lot of hard times but every time just when I thought that I couldn't go on anymore, somehow I managed to muster enough courage to go on. I am proud to say that I have survived all the ordeals that life has thrown at me so far. The last time I surprised myself was just early this yr. I felt great about myself and my ability to pull through.
