Your Question:
Why did I have to go through this to learn to be strong?
Answer:
I've been in situations where I felt frustrated and agitated, just like you. As a pastor, I've learned that it's not about finding strength in ourselves, but rather in God. When we're faced with challenges, it's easy to become discouraged and feel like giving up. But that's exactly when we need to rely on God's strength, not our own. The Bible teaches us that it's in our weakness that we find God's strength. When we're down and out, it's then that Christ can infuse us with spiritual strength. It's not about being strong on our own, but about surrendering to God's power and allowing Him to work in us. I've seen this in my own life, and I've seen it in the lives of those I've pastored. When we come to God in faith, He can help us overcome our struggles and find the strength we need. You're asking why you had to go through this to learn to be strong. The answer is that God wants to use your struggles to make you a better person. He may have more than one lesson to teach you, and it's up to us to identify what we can learn from our experiences. By writing down what we expect to learn, we can find present hope in the midst of difficulties. It's not about being strong on our own, but about relying on God's strength and allowing Him to work in us.
