I’m not sure that we will ever understand why we have long stretches of turmoil or trauma in life. Some have longer periods and more intense crises than others. But our Lord has seen and experienced it all. He walks with us and talks with us, strengthening our stamina and resilience. The perseverance we gain, the confidence in His presence we come to know, are not earned. These qualities are because He loves us and holds us tight in His grip. Our weakness and misguided thinking is redirected to rely on Him, not ourselves. I hope you are finding this true, Stephen.
