Life is always a challenge, always! Many times you will feel like giving up. Why shouldn't you give up? Facing the challenge is difficult, giving up is easy. But where is the guarantee that you won't face the same challenge somewhere else or even a bigger challenge?
When you are feeling helpless and alone in facing challenges life throws at you, faith in God will help you find strength to take on the challenges
When you are facing a difficult situation, there are two approaches you can take. One is, "Let me stick with it. Let me stay put and face the challenge, try to understand it, learn the lesson, and rise above it." Second is, take solace in God, give Him the responsibility to see you through the adversities while you put in inordinate effort. It really takes a lot of strength, a lot of courage, a lot of confidence to do that. It takes total faith in a Higher Will, that is, God. Remember, God helps those who help themselves.
If you cannot develop that kind of strength, you can just walk out. You are not really making a big mistake by doing that. But, remember one thing if that happens: A challenge was placed in front of you; you didn't want to face it, and you are running away. It's alright if you really cannot do it; at least you tried. God loves people who try and just don't give up when the going gets tough. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going and by having faith in God you are only going to get tougher!
But, don't keep fighting against the current when it gets too strong; it is not cowardice. It means God has other plans for you. Maybe you are not strong yet. Swim in shallower waters. But, know that, although you are running from a challenge, you are not escaping. The same kind of challenge will come there also, in a little different form. Why? Because difficulties come to make us strong. It's true. Life is an obstacle race, and a challenge has been presented to you. I would recommend that you first try to face it with all your heart and strength. Find the ways and means to do it while placing utmost faith in God.
Only if you are really positive that you cannot do anything more, that you really cannot continue, if you feel: "I'm getting weaker and weaker and weaker, and I have to take a little time to get my strength back." okay, then take a break. God has a way to create opportunities for us but God won't hand opportunities to you on a silver platter - you have to recognize the opportunities and take on them. Become an opportunist.
The strength that will enable you to overcome every obstacle is the strength and confidence that comes from total faith in God. When you have that kind of strength, nothing is impossible to achieve. You don't have to run away from anything.
