Have you ever had those days when nothing seems to go right? You fell short in your goals or you made a mistake that cost more time, money, and energy that you had available. And if that wasn’t hard enough, you have new problems in your personal life that remain unresolved. It’s in these times that you want to look up to heaven and ask God, “Really?”

It doesn’t seem fair for those who love and serve God to have hardship on top of hardship. We expect our lives to be smoother because we have Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. However, it sometimes seems to get worse before it gets better.

Prayer

Dear Lord, the storms of my life don’t seem to let up much. But I’m still holding onto the cross of Jesus Christ and trusting You to give me the strength, refuge, and courage I need to make it through. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In His Service,
