Peaceful Naps During the Most Ferocious Storms
Have you ever wondered why we always seem to have some problem in our life? We solve one, and another one opens up. We try to fix that, and then three or four more show up. Now we don’t know which one to deal with first.
Don’t worry. You are not alone. Many people feel the same.
We believe in Jesus Christ. Then why do we still have to suffer? We started following Jesus because He is our Savior. He does so many wonders in our lives. Then why do we still face problems? Where is He in all these situations?
I have a few answers to this.
Starting with the first one.
Imagine you are studying in school, full of excitement. New books, new notes, new shoes, new uniforms. It feels amazing. Especially when the teacher makes learning fun and interesting. It feels like everything is going well.
During class, we ask doubts and the teacher helps us. When we get stuck, the teacher guides us.
But one day comes when the same teacher becomes silent.
That is the day we face more complex problems to solve. But the basics were already taught in class. It is just a bigger problem built on the same basics.
That day is called a “test.”
During the test, the teacher won’t help us, because that would be cheating.
Dear friends, Jesus Christ teaches us so many things throughout our life for this exact moment. This is our day. The day we grow. The day we rise.
On that day, He may seem silent.
But when we pass the test, we move to the next stage of life. New beginnings, new lessons, and again new tests. That’s life.
My second answer.
Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:7, there was a thorn in his flesh given to him so that he would not become proud.
Sometimes, struggles are there to keep us humble before God. They stop us from thinking too highly of ourselves.
My third answer.
If we don’t have any troubles in life, then what is the point of living? Problems make life interesting. They give it purpose.
In the beginning, these problems used to bother me a lot. I used to overthink everything. But now, I have started facing them differently. I don’t give them too much importance. They are just a part of life.
I even take peaceful naps during the most ferocious storms
My overthinking was one of the main reasons for my frequent migraines. Now, I don’t have them as often.
Believe in God. His will will be done, no matter what we do or how much we try. In the end, it is always His will.
Just surrender your life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will complete His will in you.
