There is so much sadness, pain and suffering in the world around us today. So many things that the human mind can't comprehend or understand unless they've been there. You look for the right words to comfort those who are struggling but sometimes there aren't any words you can say to heal the pain and suffering in the lives of those around us.

We question God's wisdom, wondering His reason behind the turmoil of the world. 

Why did He put this in our path?

What is His plan?

What is His purpose?

The world seems to turn dark at times, it gets turned upside down and our faith is shaken. We pray but feel that it doesn't seem to help; we wonder in the midst of our struggle can God even hear us? What now, we ask. Our hearts are hurting and we don't know what to do. We have so many questions but are without answers; instead we are forced to go forward blindly through life not knowing what is going to come next for us. Where are we going, we wonder?

We pray for God to bring peace in the chaos of life, to mend the broken pieces and make them whole, put them together in a beautiful way that allows us to see that God is love and His love is powerful and pure.

We pray for guidance in the missing pieces of our lives to help us find what we have been searching for all of our lives. We look for hope and pray we can find it through our faith. We seek happiness in the sorrows of our difficult stories.

I have learned the harsh reality of life sometimes is that we don't always get what we want or ask for, life is still life and we get what God hands us. It isn't always pretty and we may not agree but we keep going anyway. 

We pray knowing God does hear our cries when we put our trust in the Lord. He loves each of us with a love that is so strong and deep, a love like you have never seen before in your life.

I don't have all the answers nor do I have a clue what I am doing in this life but I do follow God. I lean on my faith, my family and my friends when I don't understand things. I pray along the way that I live every day a life that is pleasing to God. I do my best to follow His lead and allow Him to work through my life and guide me as I go the way He leads. I pray to gain wisdom and understanding through the chaos of my life journey.
