Your Question:
What if I can't get better from this?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with the weight of your troubles. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when things aren't going as we'd hoped. But let me ask you, have you considered that God may be using these difficulties to make you stronger and better? Maybe He wants to teach you something new, to refine your character and help you grow in your faith. When we face troubles, our natural reaction is to ask, "Why is this happening to me?" or "Why is this happening now?" But what if we were to shift our focus away from our difficulties and towards God? What if we were to see our troubles as opportunities for growth, rather than as obstacles to be overcome? I believe that when we make our difficulties a faith issue, God shows up as magnificently larger than any troubles we may face. He brings troubles to make us stronger and better, and when we refuse to learn from them, we miss out on the growth and transformation that He has in store for us. So, even if you can't get better from this right now, don't lose heart. Remember that God never gives us strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the moment. Take one step at a time, and trust that God will give you the nourishment you need to face each challenge as it comes. And always remember, you are not alone in your struggles. Pray for the saints of God, and pray for all men, knowing that you are perfect only in Christ Jesus, not on the basis of your own efforts.
