When you are going through a tough time, especially following the loss of a loved one. It could also be the loss of a job, or perhaps your health may be deteriorating or you may be experiencing financial difficulties, the tendency is to feel downcast and abandoned especially if you have been praying over the issue for a very long time.
Sometimes, it may even seem like your problems are getting worse instead of getting better. The key is not to give up Hope, try not to focus on what you see or what you feel BUT keep trusting and believing God to get you through the storm.
I love how the Message bible puts it in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
“So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.”
I pray that despite your brokenness, your wounds, your heaviness, your weariness and loneliness, you will find strength and comfort in the promises of God and keep holding on until the sun starts shining in your life. It will be soon.
