To say things are challenging is an understatement.
Maybe you're going through a debilitating health challenge, and you're whispering between the tears, "please God, help me."
Maybe you're going through a financial difficulty, you're drowning in bills, life is too expensive, and you need to buy a new stove with money that doesn't exist.
Perhaps you're managing your finances and health by the thinnest of hairs, but your job is toxic and draining, and you don't have options right now.
There's a family situation that feels impossible right now. Sleepless nights, endless fights, responsibility for a sick loved one, children who need extra support and guidance.
You go on social media to distract and forget yourself, and yet, you feel worse because either people are living their best lives or there's someone who is dealing with a more horrible situation than you. Guilt and jealousy compound your situation.
Let's not even touch national and world events: apocalyptic wars, natural disasters, pain, suffering, and injustice.
At the end of each day, you ask yourself, "how did I get through today?"
At night, you force yourself to pray. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner.
You try to find something to be grateful for.
You ask God to lighten your load, to grant you the strength to endure, to enlighten your darkness.
And then you wait. You hope. You want your suffering to have meaning.
I see you. I hear you. I'm praying that merciful Lord envelops you in His love.
