Life is complex, and very difficult at times. It’s hard to see your loved ones suffer. I think one way to counter the suffering is to pray to the Lord. If I have an attitude of a prayerful heart, it means that I believe God is real, that He is good, and that He has the power to change things for good. It’s hard for me to grasp this, or to understand time, especially when I encounter suffering, but the truth is – real living is coming. It’s coming in glory, with the coming of the King. And when He finally comes, the new day, an everlasting one, will be without suffering. This is on my mind today as my dad is dealing with some very hard things. Praying for health and healing, to him and to my loved ones.
