God, what are you doing?
Please just stop. Please relieve me.
Have I not had enough? Have I not been faithful?
He touches my heart, "I love you."
Then why... why must I go through this?
How much longer?
"Love is patient"
Don't you think 2 months is enough...must I be more patient?
Then can I at least know what's going to happen?
Why am I suffering so much?
"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." - James 1:12
Lord, then I surrender all.

Young, I know the feeling. I will be praying for you, especially for endurance.
ReplyDeleteA missionary came to our church in November, and he quoted John 12:24 - I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
He said, to be used by God, you must first be broken.
That really struck me, and helped me see more purpose in the trials. I am praying the same for you. I know that God will bring you out of this period with greater wisdom and insight, and deeper faith.
Stay strong.
Proverbs 3
ReplyDeleteTrust in the LORD with All Your Heart
1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for length of days and years of life
and peace they will add to you.
3 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good success[a]
in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh[b]
and refreshment[c] to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the LORD reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.
