I wish there was some magic formula or magic wand I could wave to take away any pain or sorrow or whatever difficult situation you may be facing today. But there is no such thing.

The Bible tells us we will face hardships, trials, and temptations. The one thing we do have is power in prayer. No, this is not an “easy fix” and God doesn’t always take away these things. However, a promise you can definitely claim is that He will never leave you. You are NOT alone and also know that this is only temporary.

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” II Cor. 4:16-18

There are far greater things ahead.
