Real Life Struggle

Sometimes I am scared I will never be strong enough.

Not strong enough to weather any real life struggle, when each day sometimes feels hard enough.

As I expressed this to a dear friend, they said to me that each day, and all that I face there, is the real life struggle. Each preparing me for the next.

The little girl's scraped knee and her discouragement, a real life struggle.

A son who took his own life, a mothers deep regret and sorrow, a real life struggle.

Her anxiety and the havoc it wreaks in her tired and scared head, a real life struggle.

Each trial came, but never were we not given what we needed. He always came through. Never were we left unprepared for the next real life struggle.

I am not saying all pain is equal, and I am not saying our knees will not buckle under the pressure sometimes. I am just saying, our God is good anyway. And His plan is greater then our pain. Each trial we endure prepares us all the more for the next, and to fight the good fight and love Him as Lord.

Do not minimize what you face, and feel as though it has only weakened you. Or feel, "if I cant handle this, how will I handle any big life thing that will come?" What you face is a real life struggle.

But despite yours and mine, our real life struggle, He shines so bright, and ever let us sing, How Great Is Our God!
