when we go through pain we wonder why. We wonder why God didn’t stop the pain. Was He not able, or did he not love me? I’ve been on that journey.
Its that typical day. You wake up and your mind has a cloud above it. You feel off, demotivated and dread the day ahead. Many factors may be the reason. It may be depression or oppression, an anxious piece of news or a disappointment that has dragged on for years. Whatever it is, you know you have to change your thought polarity, you need to switch to joy and gratitude, but how? I wrestled it for years.

It’s the question I’ve thought about since a kid, wrestled with as a teenager and lived with throughout the pain I was going through when heavily oppressed and depressed.

I forgot who it was that said it, but I read once that God works slowly and suddenly. When we are at our wits end, wondering how long before a breakthrough comes, He suddenly comes through, breaking in with dawn.
