Gaining Authority over Challenges

Facing and overcoming personal challenges is a prerequisite to gaining authority over them. Wrestling with insecurities or struggles is a common path to developing the ability to help others overcome similar issues. Difficulties that persist or lead to chaos could indicate a calling or assignment meant to be tackled. By confronting and mastering these challenges, individuals can cultivate empathy for others and develop a deeper understanding of their purpose, similar to the story of Jonah and the whale.
