Has your world fallen apart lately? Some of us live in a perpetually broken environment. How do we cope? How do we live with the pain and heartache that life can dole out? Some of our pain may be self-inflicted, the result of poor choices and bad relationships. Some of our pain is through no fault of our own, but we find ourselves in the midst of it.
Be strong and focused - Sometimes we just have to tough it out and be OK with nothing being OK. But, if we want to come out on top, if we want to survive and eventually thrive, we need to recognize that God is faithful and He wants the best for us. There are things we can do while in the midst of a crisis. We can find someone to walk with us. Having a friend who will listen and who will pray for us will make a difference.
Don't go through it along - No matter what the struggle, it is easier to wrestle the giant with someone with whom you can tag-team. Job, the subject of our study, is in the midst of great trail. Job is not alone, he doesn't allow his sorrow to lead him into isolation. He is surrounded by community, his friends sat with him and silently supported him in his grief.
Whatever you are dealing with now, don't face it alone. Reach out to God who is faithful, even if our faith is faltering during this season, God is still faithful. And then pray seek out someone who will come alongside and be your strength for a bit. Find a person who is safe to talk to and to pray with.
Allow God to speak into your heart during this time and listen for what He is saying, what He is teaching you. Write it down so some day in the near future and can go back and read and remember.
Romans 3:3-4 - God is faithful
