When will this be over? When will this difficulty end? I have asked myself that so many times. I know what it’s like to pray the circumstance would change and yet things stay the same… or gets worse. When will God intervene? My mind begins to wander as I wish I could run far away from the troubles of this life. But it’s in these moments that God reminds me of His plan, one greater than my own. Broken and empty pieces that are building a beautiful crown of glory to my King. Where my pain is never wasted, my tears are never in vain. They have meaning and purpose that are far beyond what I can even imagine. The same God who shed His blood for me on the cross is the same God standing with me everyday, even when the trial remains. This keeps me humble, this keeps me in great need of my Savior. Do not lose hope. Do not stop seeking the Lord as He can always be found. One day this pain will end and we will finish the race He called us to run. We may get tired, at times we may feel like giving up but it’s always too soon to quit. His ways are better. Oh that glorious day where death and sorrow will be no more! So let’s keep our eyes fixed on Him, He alone is our strength and our refuge. He has the glory, yes even in this… keep going sweet friend.

Father, Thank You for never leaving us, never forsaking us. You alone give us strength in our weakness. Increase our faith Lord, increase our trust in You. Continue to help us in every hardship, keeping our minds and hearts fixed solely on You. Remind us of Your kingdom and of the good plan You have for our life. May we find rest in Your promises, in Your word that can never be shaken. We give everything to You, every circumstance, we trust it in Your hands and ask that Your will be done. Be glorified in every area of our lives. In Jesus name, Amen.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
-2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Just a girl desperately seeking God 
I have been struggling. I start off good and than fail. 3 months ago I was brutally sexually assaulted, raped and almost murdered by an ex boyfriend I left because I felt like the Lord was telling me to return back to Him. Everyone I had in my life all the sudden disappeared and I feel like I’m on this deserted island all alone. Before meeting him I was single for 20 years. I am now 45. I emotionally and mentally wounded and feel like at times I’m losing control. I don’t want to remain this victim, I want to help other women but feel like a complete mess.
