My friend Trenton captured this beautiful picture and I think it speaks my mood lately. You see it's quite gloomy, I'm in a place of continuous suffering. I have a misaligned jaw, which causes me to struggle with constant headaches, neck/back pain, terrible loss of sleep! and it's been going on for years and has increased as time has gone on. But something that has comforted me for sometime now it's Revelation 21:2 " He will wipe every tear from there eyes, there will be no more death, nor mourning nor crying nor pain for the old order of these things has passed away" though my suffering is constant it is but temporary. Even through our suffering we have absolutely no reason to doubt God. God understands our pains and emotions but will never comprehend how we could doubt him. I admit I do doubt quite a bit, curious to why he won't just miraculously fix my jaw? Or what is the purpose of putting me through this? But even though it isn't clear to me at the moment I'm still going to trust God because he has never failed me and never will. You may be at a point where you are excessively exsausted well I most certainly am! Just cling to the Bible & dig into prayer. Let God renew your strength. For anyone else going through suffering keep in mind your suffering is just temporary and even in the worst of times God is good. Also In Isaiah 49:16 " Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands your walls are continually before me". That verse clearly states that God is aware of our suffering and we are engraved on his hands, if you feel alone just remember God is aware and at work always. I hope this speaks to someone in the midst of there own personal battle. (:
