There are many difficult things we pass through as we traverse this sod. Things happen and bring back echoes of past pain. Then those echoes become shouts in your head. It is at this point that all the heart can cry is, "Oh, I need YOU! God I need You now!"
One may cry out for God to take away whatever is causing the ache, the pain, the suffering. God, in His great wisdom, goodness, and love sometimes just gives you the strength to keep breathing. This is the rub. This is where one must learn to lean in to His sovereignty. THAT is hard. Trusting in His goodness in the midst of deep, aching pain. Yet, it is the place one must go in the midst of the ache,
For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ~Hebrews 13:5
Keep hanging onto those truths, sister, and clinging to God in the hardest things that scream at you and can't be forgotten. I heard an interview with Nancy Guthrie today and she was talking about how what people call faith is when their miracle happens that they've been praying for. But real faith is when things don't get better, or may in fact get worse, or don't work out the way we want to but we cling to God...that is faith. Keep pressing on in faith. None of your journey is wasted.
