Those who have learned by experience what physical and emotional pain and anguish mean, are a community all over the world. They are united by a secret bond. one and all, they know the horrors of suffering to which mankind can be subjected. One and all, they know the longing to be free from pain.
He who has been delivered from pain must not think he is free again and live his life just as he did before. Having come deeply to know pain and anguish, he must help to take a stand against pain and
anguish so far as human power can control them, and to bring others the deliverance which he himself
has experienced. Such is the fellowship of those who bear the mark of pain. One and all we must realize that our existence receives its true...

(I Corinthians 7:17) “Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.â€
Being content in your current situation is not easy but it is attainable if you would learn to trust God. Frustration sets in and leads to anger when you are too focused on the problem. The problem seems so overwhelming and more and more time goes by with prayers unanswered. You just want to throw your hands up and cry. I know, I have been there with issues concerning my son and the prayers seem to go unanswered and the issues with him will bring me down. Financial issues too overwhelming beyond my control and ability...
I like this version so posting it too.
In the darkness
Where everything is unknown
I face the power of sin on my own
I did not know of a place I could go
Where I could find a way to
Heal my wounded soul.
He said that I could come into
His presence without fear
Into the holy place where
His mercy hovers near
I'm runnin' I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said
His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely
It will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin; to the mercy seat.
Are you livin' where hope has not been?
You're lost in the curse of a
Lifetime of sin
Lovely illusions they never
Come true I know where there's a place
Of mercy for you
He said that...
In God's timing we are 'tested'...each shall choose their path of obedience.
It is said...if any man think that he knows anything...whoever has an opinion
of himself, or is conceited with his own knowledge, and flirts with the thought
that he knows more than he does; which is always the case of those that are
elated with their knowledge, and treat others with contempt, with little regard
to their peace and edification. He knows' nothing yet as he ought to know;
if he did, he would know this, that he ought to consult the peace, comfort and
edification of his brother...and therefore whatever knowledge he may fancy he
has attained to, or whatever he may be capable of, and hereafter obtain, for
the present he must be put down for a man...

Friends, I don't know about you, but I know when I am going through painful trials, I feel like I lack patience which I know is needful according to the word of God. As I pondered the scriptures I noticed some things that Jesus said, John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Jesus said in this world were going to have troubles and on that, I believe we all can agree. I noticed a couple more points he made, He said In Him we might have peace and be of good cheer. Wow when trials are hammering down most of us aren't feeling very cheerful and most of us aren't feeling at peace.
I started looking at more scriptures...
The voice within, for there of personal, and specific defects of the heart...the 'living word'...
the Holy Spirit within ones own self.
May all your wishes come true.
May Jesus be the center of your life.
May God lead you and all your family in the path of heaven.
Come, let us reason together ... said the Lord.
Let us all go to Jesus and reason with Him.
May the work of the Lord reach your whole community.
May your fondest goals will be to serve God,
And when all is done and said,
Rest in the Lord,
There is no other place to find happiness and joy,
In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy.
Happy New Year and God bless each and everyone of you.
Great is the Lord and worthy to be praised.
Praise Him the entire new year.
Amen
