Why me? This is likely the most common question you have asked yourself when going through life challenges. You somehow feel that you all alone in this battle, you feel like you are the only one going through this.
Somehow you may feel that you being punished for some reason. You can’t even explain what is happening and try to figure out how you can get through this. I can relate. I’ve been through situations like that; where I felt like it was the end of the road – no light at the end of that tunnel. It looked dark and grey and it didn’t look like I would ever see a brighter day again.
I have gained some nuggets of wisdom through my personal experiences. My encouragement to you is this: don’t be afraid of pain, of failure or of making mistakes. Don’t be afraid to fall because whatever you endure now will only last for a season and your joy will come in the morning.
Watch this video below of a young man who had to learn to forgive all the hurt and disappointment he had experienced in his life. He decided to forgive those who hurt him and start afresh because he knew that God still had greater and bigger plans for his life.
Perhaps you feel that you are being punished for some reason. Why else would this be happening to you? Be assured. You are not alone. Whatever you are going through or feeling right now, God’s promise is that He will see you through and give you the strength and direction you need. God wants you to know that He understands how you feel and that He knows more about your situation than you do. He saw it coming before you did and will give you the help you need if you call out to Him.
In whatever you go through in life today, know that you are loved. If you have questions about God and want someone to chat to about them, we would love to hear from you!
