We all go through things that are uncomfortable, things that we don’t like. A coworker is getting on our nerves, a child is difficult to raise, a dream is taking longer than we thought.
It’s easy to live frustrated, wondering why it’s not changing. But I’ve learned you can’t pray away everything that’s uncomfortable. God uses difficulties, delays, inconveniences, to do a work in us.
If the situation is not changing, maybe God is using the situation to change you. He wouldn’t have allowed it if he didn’t have a purpose for it.
“It’s easy to live frustrated, wondering why it’s not changing. But I’ve learned you can’t pray away everything that’s uncomfortable.”
Don’t just go through it, upset, bitter, offended, grow through it. That’s an opportunity to get stronger, to develop your character, to build your spiritual muscles.
We don’t grow so much in the good times; we grow in the difficult times.
