It's tempting to try to move past the pain as quickly as possible. But what if instead we embraced our struggles as a way to develop a resilience that's not dependent on circumstances? Writing as a friend who has also walked through difficulties, Rebekah Lyons—the bestselling author of Rhythms of Renewal and the popular host of the Rhythms for Life podcast—reminds us that adversity always comes with a choice: Will discouragement, stress, and fear cause you to crumble, or will you embrace the strength you've already been given?
