Jesus,
Sometimes I just don’t understand the pain that you allow.
That pain that tears a heart in half. When you can feel your heart bleed.
When it hurts to take a breath. When it hurts so much you forget to breathe.
When your hopes and dreams are ripped from your hand. When it feels that there cannot possibly be any hope for the future. When you don’t want that hope for the future without whatever was lost.
In these moments, it’s hard to believe that you have anymore good for our lives. Darkness becomes so dark.
In the midst of these valleys, God, remind me of who I know you to be. I don’t have the strength to hold on; don’t let me go. Because on top of everything else that has been lost, I cannot lose you too.
Jesus, I don’t understand why, but I want to trust you.
Sometimes you give us this pain; sometimes you put people in our lives who are walking through this pain. This is also a hard place to be. You wish you could take away the pain until it’s yours.
There are so many hurting. My heart aches for them, Lord. Thank you for seeing them. Thank you for grieving with them. Thank you for not being surprised, and for knowing why you allowed this. Put your hand of comfort on those who are hurting. The path of pain is so hard to travel.
Amen
