If you’re like most people today, you’re used to moving fast and expecting quick results. The problem with that—or at least part of the problem—is that what was enough yesterday seldom seems to be enough today, and escalating personal expectations carry over to what you expect from other people and from life in general.

You struggle to keep pace with the world, but at the same time you can’t help that some things simply take time. Most problems at work or with your health or relationships can’t be solved with the click of a mouse or the push of a button.

Sometimes life is just tough, and sometimes it stays that way for awhile. There’s always a way out of a difficulty when you look to Me for guidance and help, but it often takes time for Me to work in your and others’ minds and hearts. Even when problems drag on and you feel mentally exhausted or emotionally drained, I am by your side, ready to renew your spirit and give you the patience and perseverance to hang on as we work through those problems together.

I don’t promise a trouble-free life. I won’t wave a magic wand and remove your problems and struggles, but I can give you superhuman resources to enable you to withstand adversity, to hold your head high through the storm, and in time to come out stronger and better equipped to face the next challenge.
