There is no quick and easy fix.

I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression in the last post. I don't have the suffering thing figured out. Not even close. Honestly, I hate it. Right now is a tough time. I'm impatient, selfish and questioning God. I wish it would just get better. But I don't know how to flip a switch and make suffering go away. I wish it were that easy. I can't tell you how to fix everything that is broken in your life. There is no quick fix to whatever your suffering through.

I can't tell you how to fix your problems because I'm useless to fix mine. Right now I'm walking through a tough time in my career. I doubt my abilities and worth. I feel like I've failed. Things were supposed to be different. I don't think I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, but I don't see any options. I'm having a hard time trusting the Lord with my vocation. I ready for this time to end.

There's a lot about suffering that I still don't understand, but I've learned some things. I'm certain of this... you are not alone in your pain. Your Father has not abandoned you. Sometimes you don't hear His voice or see His hand working. But He's there and has never stopped loving you. Even on my worst days, I trust my Father completely. I've walked through many dark valleys and He's never abandoned me. If you're hurting now, please know the Lord is with you.

You are not alone.
