Introduction:
Life has a way of placing us in classrooms we never enrolled in. Challenges come without permission, storms roll in without warning, and seasons shift before we feel ready. But hear this: you are not going through this to break — you are going through this to become.
Growth doesn’t happen on the mountaintop; it happens in tight spaces, pressured places, and seasons where you feel stretched beyond your comfort. What you’re facing right now may feel heavy, but the weight is building you. The struggle is shaping you.
What if the very thing you’re trying to escape is the thing God is using to elevate you?
This is your season not to just survive — but to grow through what you’re going through.
Tips to Help You Grow Through What You’re Going Through
1. Accept the Season Without Accepting Defeat
You don’t grow by denying where you are. You grow by acknowledging it while refusing to be conquered by it.
Say to yourself: “I may be in a storm, but the storm is not in me.”
2. Ask the Right Questions
Instead of asking “Why me?” shift to “What is this teaching me?”
Pain becomes purposeful when you understand its lesson. Growth begins when perspective shifts.
3. Let Go of What No Longer Fits
Some things were only meant for an earlier version of you.
As you grow, you outgrow.
Release:
-
Old habits
-
Draining relationships
-
Limiting beliefs
-
Outdated identities
Letting go creates room for new strength.
4. Strengthen Yourself With Daily Practices
Growth is not an event — it’s a discipline.
Build routines that stabilize your spirit:
-
10 minutes of prayer or reflection
-
Listening to uplifting messages
-
Reading wisdom-filled books
-
Journaling your progress
Small practices create big internal shifts.
5. Surround Yourself With Growth-Minded People
You cannot heal in environments that hurt you.
Align with people who see beyond your pain and speak to your potential.
Voices of faith, encouragement, and wisdom water the seeds God planted in you.
6. Celebrate Small Wins
Every step forward, no matter how small, is evidence that you’re growing.
You may not be where you want to be yet, but you’re certainly not where you were.
Honor your progress — it fuels your persistence.
Conclusion:
What you’re going through is not the end of you; it is the birthing place of the next you. Growth often comes disguised as hardship, but underneath the pressure is a version of yourself that is wiser, stronger, and more resilient.
Don’t rush the process. Don’t despise it.
Trust that God is shaping something inside you that could only be developed through this season.
You will not just get through this —
you will grow through this,
and what’s coming next will make sense of everything you’ve endured.
