When facing a difficult time, what helps you get through it?

When facing a difficult time, what helps you get through it?

God helps me overcome all the challenges that I face. I continue to speak God’s Word about the situation (regardless of how I feel at that moment), and I keep on praying and believing. In addition, it’s important to pray and speak God’s Word about the situation because prayer changes the situation. My security comes from knowing that God is in control of All the details of my life, so everything is going according to God’s will and glory. It’s important for me to remind myself that the Lord is Faithful, nothing is too hard for God, that the Lord is bigger than any problem that I will ever face. Also, it is so important for me to apply the scriptures in my life. I need to say them daily because hearing the Word will help strengthen my faith. Also, I remind myself that he is Always with me (even at times when it doesn’t feel like it) “He never leaves me nor forsakes me” “Christ himself dwells in me.” Moreover, it’s important for me to remember that the Lord has set me free “Whom the son sets free, is free indeed.” Also, I have learned that when I give the situation over to God (I have to fully give it over to him), with the Lord’s help I don’t worry or think about it anymore. I have a saying: I will do my best and let the Lord take care of the rest.

“I Can do All things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.”

Wanaotembea na wajawazito watahadharishwa

LONDON,Uingereza

WATAFITI wa masuala ya afya wamesema kuwa wanaume wanakuwa hatarini mara mbili zaidi kuambukizwa virusi vinavyoeneza ugonjwa wa UKIMWI pindi wapenzi wao wanapokuwa wajawazito.

Kwa mujibu wa utafiti uliofanywa kwa zaidi ya wanandoa 3,000 barani Afrika na kuungwa mkono na tafiti kadhaa, inaonyesha kuwa wanawake ni rahisi kusambaza virusi hivyo vya UKIMWI pindi wanapokuwa wajawazito.

Watafiti hao wanasema kwamba mabadiliko katika mwili wa mwanamke anapokuwa mjamzito yanachangia kwa kiasi kikubwa ongezeko la nafasi kwa mpenzi wake kuathirika.

Kwa mujibu wa watafiti hao kutoka Uingereza findings, imeoneka kuwepo kwa ulazima wa kupima.

Matokeo ya utafiti huo yatolewa juzi wakati wa mkutano mkuu wa kimataifa wa kumpambana na ugonjwa wa UKIMWI unaofanyika mjini Pittsburgh ambapo sambamba na utafiti huo,tafiti nyingine zimeonesha kuwa njia ya kutumia dawa ya kupaka aina ya microbicidal gel ambayo inaua bakteria ni njia salama kwa wajawazito kujikinga na usambazaji wa virusi vya UKIMWI.

Katika mkutano huo ilielezwa kwamba pia wasichana wenye umri mdogo ni miongoni mwa waliopo hatarini kuambukizwa virusi hivyo vya UKIMWI katika nchi ambazo zina kiwango cha hali ya juu cha ugonjwa huo.

Utafiti huu ni wa kwanza kuonesha kuwa mwanamume ndiye yupo hatarini zaidi kukumbwa na maradhi hayo wakati mkewe anapokuwa mjamzito baada ya tafiti za awali kuonesha mwanamke ndiye alikuwa hatarini zaidi kuambukizwa virusi vya UKIMWI kutoka kwa mpenzi wake wakati wa ujauzito.

Utafiti huo ambao ulifanyika katika nchi za Botswana, Kenya, Rwanda, Afrika Kusini , Tanzania, Uganda na Zambia,uliwahusisha wanandoa 3,321 na mmoja kati yao kuonekana ameathirika huku waliosalia wakiwa hawana virusi hivyo.

Katika kipindi cha miaka zaidi ya miwili ilionesha kuwa kumekuwepo na mimba 823 na uchunguzi unaonesha kwamba maambukizi yameongezeka pande zote kutoka kwa mwanamke kwenda kwa mwanamume na kutoka kwa mwanamume kwenda kwa mwanake.

"Changamoto moja kubwa inayotukabili nchini Uingereza ni kwamba mmoja kati ya watu wanne wenye UKIMWI hafahamu kama ana virusi kwa sababu hajapima,"alisema Bw.Jason Warriner,kutoka mfuko wa Terrence Higgins.

Alisema kuwa kwa upande wa wanawake inaonekana wanawake ambao siyo wajawazito ndiyo wanaochangia zaidi kusambaza virusi kuliko wanawake wajawazito lakini akasema kuwa kwa wanaume wenye mahusiano na wanawake wajawazito hawako hatarini sana labda wajihusishe na masuala mengine ikiwemo kufanya ngono isiyo salama.(BBC)
