This question resonates with many individuals who find themselves in a seemingly endless cycle of misfortune and adversity. It often feels as though, despite our best efforts to lead a positive and productive life, we are constantly beset by challenges that are beyond our control. The feeling of being targeted can lead to frustration.
From Series: Life Lessons Learned from the Bible - Psalm 23:6
You might feel like your life is a constant cycle of only bad and negative events, but there’s more to the story.
God promises to have only goodness and mercy to follow us all the days of our life in Psalm 23:6. We are also reminded in Romans 8:28 that all things work for the good of those who love God, and in Deuteronomy 31:6 that God will never leave us.
Even in our difficulties God is with us, and if God is with us then bad circumstance cannot stop us from reaching success (Romans 8:31). Therefore, even negative events contribute to our overall successes.
God's protection, mercy, the fulfillment of His promises to us, and His goodness are ours—not occasionally, but consistently. This means that the challenging and negative experiences are merely part of the journey, not the conclusion of our story.
Situations can appear misleading if you don't view them from God's perspective. They may lead you to believe that nothing is happening and that circumstances are deteriorating. You might feel cursed, thinking nothing positive will ever occur, as every time you make progress, you seem to fall even further behind.
However, life takes on a different pace when one has a relationship with God, as we are 'living in Christ,' which allows us to experience different outcomes than others (Romans 8:17). Our outcome will always be positive.
People hire personal health trainers to inspire them to reach their health goals. In a similar way, God uses our experiences to drive us toward our life's purpose.
Our discomfort can feel so overpowering that we fail to recognize the benefits within it—it appears concealed. However, good comes in many ways.
Your experience might be intended to draw you nearer to God, to capture your attention, or to keep you out of trouble. But even amid the chaotic atmosphere that you may be surrounded by, the opportunity to be successful is there.
Remember not to overlook your current opportunities by becoming frustrated and anxious when things don't unfold as you expected. Just remember not to miss your current opportunities by becoming frustrated and worried when things don't go the way you expected.
Since we understand that in every situation, without exception, God transforms them for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose, and that God is entirely trustworthy, don't perceive your life negatively. Recognize that even in challenging times, you will see the goodness and mercy of God—this is Kingdom living!

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
