Have you ever wondered if God knows what He's doing? The situation is so painful that you wonder if God even knows how you feel? Let me reassure you that no matter what you are enduring, God knows how you feel and He's going to get you through it!
My first week of Basic Training made me wonder why I ever thought enlisting was a good idea. However, when our Chaplain came around to talk with us (which he did weekly) he reminded us of one thing: You can endure pretty much anything when you keep in mind that "this, too, shall pass." Let me tell you something, each morning I woke up was time I thanked God for another day. Every morning when we were sweating as we endured physical training (rain or shine), I thanked God for the inspiration to have that time to think while I ached in ways I never imagined. Celebrating each achievement brought joy.
When the day came to graduate from Basic Training, the joy was incredible!
Whatever you are going through, don't give up! The joy that God gives us is SO awesome! And I guarantee, the pain now may be deep and seem to never end, but turn it over to Him every single time you feel it, as long as you feel it, and there WILL come a day when you will feel joy again.
