My friend, I can sense the weight of your pain. As someone who's walked through the valley of suffering, I want to encourage you that there's hope. You see, when we're stuck in pain, it's easy to lose sight of our purpose. But I want to remind you that your purpose is not just to be rid of depression, although that's a worthwhile goal. Your purpose is something greater, something that God has for you.

As I've learned from my own experiences, and as I've seen in the lives of those I've counseled, it's essential to examine where your pain is coming from. Is it a physical cause or a mental interpretation? Have you considered what intensifies or decreases the pain? What have you lost that's precious to you? What do you believe you need that you don't have? By asking these questions, you'll begin to uncover the root of your pain and discover where you've placed your trust.

Now, I want to share with you what I've learned from God's Word. When we're struggling with pain, it's easy to lose sight of God's purpose for our lives. But I want to remind you that God wants you to accomplish something. Continue integrating your life around that purpose, and after a couple of days, you'll have a good idea whether you're moving toward God's purpose for your life. Focus on Jesus, and remember that as you run the race, look at Jesus. By trusting Him with the mysteries of suffering, you'll find the answer to the problem of suffering.
