My pain is not a problem, it is a solution.

My pain is not a problem, it is a solution. It is what will energize me to change, adapt, grow, and move through the valley of the shadows and out the other side, back into the sunlight.

These words hit me to the core. My pain is indeed my solution. God has used these trials, over the past 4 years, to shape me into the woman I am today. I tend to forget that Jesus himself experienced so much pain and anguish while here on earth. Why do I not cling to his support and encouragement when I'm struggling? It saddens me to know that it took me this long to come to this realization. Lord forgive me for not relying on your support during my trials. You are our number one comfort that understands pain. May I always look to you in times of trouble. Thank you Jesus for being there even when I didn't ask for help.
