Have faith. Its something we all hear all the time, but there are times it gets so hard to just have simple amounts of faith. Things get hard, you feel like you are walking through Hell on earth, and that everything in the world is trying to beat you down. It hurts, I know. I'm there right now. My shoulders feel like they will snap if another burden is added to the weight that is upon them. It sounds a bit sappy, but when my faith is this challenged I turn to my Bible. I am a devoted Christian, and it brings me solace. I found something today that I wanted to share with others that are in the same place I am.
Proverbs 24:16 - The Godly may trip seven times, but they get back up.
No matter how hard it is right now, no matter how much I want to curl and just cry - I have to keep getting up and moving forward. The answer might just be there around the next bend. The answer could be there for you, too, around that next bend. I don't care if you are Christian or not, but the message to keep on keeping on is just as relevant to anyone regardless of their faith system. We cannot give up, and we cannot give in. We have to plug along, and we have to be strong in knowing that things WILL improve. This too shall pass if we keep ourselves focused on the goal.
If you are feeling like you are in that dark place, don't give up! Keep trying, keep looking, and keep believing. It will pass, for all of us. Things are hard now all around, and I do know that they are going to get harder for a lot more people before it gets better. Our country, our world, has been through times like this before us. They got through it, we can too. My hopes, my prayers, and my good wishes are with everyone on this board.
