The worse part is everyone around seems to be doing just fine. They are planning for their futures, enrolling their children in college, buying new homes, cars and clothes. They say be strong or have faith in God. The only problem is hope is lost and the excruciating pain of life is crushing any faith in God's goodness. New Year's resolutions, positive affirmations, meditation and even church are unable to penetrate the doom of another day.
How do you endure life when it seems to spit on you and your family? One step at a time, one moment at a time, one tear at a time. Sad and seemingly unfair times come upon everyone. Being in the midst of turmoil is an often lonely place. It is important to remember there are many people suffering. You are note alone, even though it seems no one in the world can relate to your troubles. Many are drudging through another day hoping for an end to their pain.
To minimize this type of pain is disrespectful. To say it will okay is rude, what is okay about being screwed by life. Having someone listen without judgment, this is sometimes the only relief a person can find.
To those of you feeling this level of pain, I say to you please hold on. Please know that even if you have lost faith in God, He waiting for you when you are ready. This season of life is sure to pass, hold on and take this message as hope reaching out. The winter's of life are cold and rough, but the summer's of life are waiting for you.
Be strong on the days you can and fight your battles with integrity.
