We all have struggles in life. I have

We all have struggles in life.

August 5, 2023

We all have struggles in life. I have found that most people do not know what you are going through. Usually you do not give out that information because—because you probably do not want to talk about it. During moments like this, life’s tribulations are just too difficult to share. Thus, you keep in your pain and heartache to yourself, but people can see or sense that something is going on. Yet you deny that there is a problem. When I am going through rough periods in my life, I go to God and I cry out my pain and heartache to Him. Psalms 147:3 reminds us, “He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds…” Hebrews 13:5 tells us, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Then Psalm 34:18 states, “The LORD is near to those that have a broken heart, and he saves those who have a contrite spirit.” God is always with us to help us through those difficult times in our lives. Go to Him, He will give you the strength and courage you need moment by moment, step by step. And when you are ready to share with others your hurts then do so, but until then God is always there for you. God Bless. Amen.
