I remember being in college and struggling through science and math courses. Oh my word. It was awful. Although English Literature came naturally for me-- I love to read and write-- math and science... well, that's another subject entirely.
No pun intended.
At the time I felt like everyone had the answers except me. No one else seemed to be struggling. None of my peers appeared to suffer from the same challenges as me. It was hard.
But you know what? After talking to a few people... years later... I discovered that I wasn't the only one. There were others that were similarly situated. They weren't proficient in math and science either. They had just as difficult a time as I did, if not worse. I didn't know it then, but I wasn't by myself.
Similarly, when you're going through difficult storms and tests in life, it often feels like you're the only doesn't it? Everyone around you seems to have more blessings, favor, peace, prosperity, and answers than you. But you know what? Looks can be deceiving. Whether you know it or not, the very situation you're facing is confronting someone else close to you. Of course each of our circumstances are unique in one way or another, but there are similar obstacles that face us all.
I just want to encourage you today to hold on and be strong through the trials you're facing. Many folks are dealing with the same stuff. But somebody's gotta trust God. It may as well be you. I don't care how many things are being thrown at you right now, the Lord has given you the power and authority to overcome. Remember this: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all" (Psalm 34:19 KJV).
As always, thanks for reading, and until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
