When Trials Come

When trials and hardships become obstacles in your path to God

When you feel the pangs of your limitations

When your strength is compromised

When your willpower to live slowly fades

When your heart condemns you

When you are blinded by your despair

When you are in the moment of frustration

When you do not want to live anymore

Take a deep breath

Then pray to pour out all the angst in your heart to God

Don’t engage to have temptations become actions

Just simply confess to God

You can’t- no matter how you’ve tried

And know that He can and is greater than what is in your heart

And entrust in Him and allow yourself to begin to love God even more

Our God is not necessarily looking into our responses to His Love

But He, rather, wants to reveal His Love to us

That in this world that suffers, we are made whole in Love
