Life is just hard sometimes.

Life is just hard sometimes.
Sometimes we get hit on every side.

We get overwhelmed and sometimes we don’t know why things are so hard.

We don’t understand why people say things that hurt us.

We even question if this is necessary.

Today that is where I am. I have been hit on every side. I took a moment and decided to breathe.

Things have been super hard lately. My load at work has been heavy.
I realized that maybe I have to learn to slow down and let things work themselves out.
God had to purge things so I can be the person He desires to use.

Then I said “Father I surrender all of this to you. I don’t understand why but I trust you. I need you to move in this situation. I need you to give me direction and guidance and I trust in Jesus name that you are fixing the situation.”

I have peace that God is in control. I know He will work things out. I know that He will be faithful.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NIV)
