You may have accepted it as the path of your life and given up hoping for more. You may even be settled with the idea that this isn’t so bad, this is just the way life will be for you.
You may be struggling with recent news of something tragic. An illness, loss of relationship, disappointment with a loved one that you didn’t know would hurt SO MUCH with their choices.
A dream you’ve had your entire life of making a difference in some way, being noticed that you are worthwhile. You have things to offer, love to give –so why the loneliness that creeps in and settles around you like an old blanket.
Maybe its nothing major you can put your finger on. Maybe you’re just sick of doing the daily grind, day after day with no one noticing all you give up. No appreciation, just expectation. Don’t they see all I do? Don’t they see I’m working SO HARD just for them?
Being in the middle of a trauma is exhausting to be sure. It can wreck even the most anchored souls at times. They hold and cling, even if by a thread, knowing they won’t be let go. No matter how it feels.
Being in the middle of the SAME OLD SAME OLD is also exhausting. Praying for months or years but not seeing any change. Giving all you know to give with no notice and it doesn’t look like anything will ever change.
I’ve been praying for something for awhile and getting more and more frustrated with no answer. I came to realize that maybe it wasn’t time for an answer so I prayed for comfort.
I didn’t feel it—I so wanted that reassuring feeling to wash over me, knowing my Father had me in His hands. I KNEW this but wasn’t feeling it. A long time of growing more and more desperate and isolated. I had the head knowledge of His presence but didn’t feel His strength or goodness in this one situation.
I read a verse I’d read before but something shifted this time. Something changed. I knew this verse can mean so many different levels of things to different people. But in this one moment—I got what was meant for me. Maybe it’ll bring some insight for you?
