Pray Until Something Happens.
Times get hard. Life gets hard. The Christian life is hard.
It is important to press on, or push oneself despite what comes up. God never gives one more than they can handle.
Many people face different adversities; my life isn't a yellow brick road either. Often times, I want to throw my hands in the air and admit defeat. Quite frankly, I think I do so more often than not. Perhaps it's because I don't want to deal with it, especially after it prolongs itself. Well, in whatever reasonable circumstance, giving up shouldn't be an option at all.
Just because life gets hard doesn't mean you should throw everything aside and not do anything. Pray until something happens. I know that I, as one person, cannot do everything even if I wanted to. When I see people hurting or facing difficult times, I wish with all my heart that I could offer something to ease their suffering. Unfortunately, I can't do much. I won't even say that I can understand what they are going through - because quite frankly, I will never being able to comprehend on their level. Why? Because I am not them. I may be able to relate to a certain degree, but I won't fully understand.
Fortunately though, I have the power of prayer. Everyone has it. Pray until something happens. That's the only thing I have to offer. God's heart breaks when he sees his children suffering. In the same way, my heart is broken for those that are going through rough times - and I hope it's the same way for others.
James 1:2-5
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."
