"When I cannot read,
when I cannot think,
when I cannot even pray,
I can trust."
(Hudson Taylor)
Sometimes when life is too much to handle, the pain is too unbearable and too complicated to understand the "why" factor, then we feel trapped, lost and alone. Many times we caused our own problems. Sometimes other people caused it and we are in the middle of it. Sometimes it just happened, out of our control, sudden and painful.
When you feel like God is not answering your prayers or is too busy to care for you. When you feel like no one cares. When you don't know how to be alive again. Try to breathe and trusting God. I know it sounds funny, but give God a chance to help you. It is not easy to see God in the midst of your own tears, disappointment and struggling, especially one that caused by those who suppose to love you, care for you or protect you. In some worst cases, there are people who even dare to use god's name for their terrible action. I am sorry for their action and I can assure you, it is NOT God who told them to hurt you, it is their own action that they justified with the word "God."
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:8)
...........................And what exactly is love?...................................
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)
Trusting God does not mean that He will answer things according to what YOU want, but He will help you get through this problem. He will give you what's best for you. It might be hard, too much and hurt for now, but sometimes it is for the best. We do not know what future holds, but He does. We might think what we lost is everything there is in life, but if you trust God to show you what He has for your future, you will be amazed. God has an incredible mind, too complicated for us to understand it. But, He knows best.
Whatever you are dealing right now. I am praying for you and remember, this too shall pass. Stay strong! You have a God who created you, love you for who you are and longing to show you His best options for your life. Just trust Him and let Him show you the reward of your faith.
♥ Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight ♥ (Proverbs 3:5-6)
