The obstacles I encounter along my life’s journey are meant to serve a purpose, but their meaning and value often are not understood until later on.
The obstacles are not intended solely to cause me pain and suffering.
This life is not a punishment. It is a gift.
Sometimes the hardships cause me to change course completely.
Sometimes they are intended to help me learn lessons that will save me further down the road.
Sometimes they cause me to help fellow travelers.
Sometimes they cause me to help myself.
God knows the meaning. In time, so will I.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
