Life is full of events and challenges that are beyond our control, but what we can always choose is our attitude and our effort. As fathers, as believers, and as people navigating the ups and downs of life, it’s easy to think we have more control than we actually do. Yet, the truth is, our real strength comes not from our own ability to manage every circumstance, but from relying on the Holy Spirit—the Advocate Jesus promised would never leave us. The Holy Spirit is not just a theological concept, but a living presence who leads us into truth, gives us peace that surpasses understanding, and empowers us to face adversity with courage and hope.Chapters
