I have been thinking about some things. One thought, is how we fight against reality and cause ourselves undue stress or pain.
In the olden days they had a sharp spear like device that they would use to encourage animals along. The animals would kick when pricked with the spear and as a result the spear would go deeper into their flesh. This would happen over and over again.
I was thinking about how we, as humans, do the exact same thing by fighting against things we have no control over.
When struggling with infertility, I do this hardcore. One would think that it would be easy to get over the injustice or pain of such a trial, but it's not. As the Lord essentially guides us with a gentle prick of a guiding spear, we fight it and then the adversary comes in and tells us we deserved the extra pain. The adversary tells us He purposefully caused the pain because we are not worth the love.
I know that through each trial, we will struggle. It is expected and frankly, how we grow. What we can do to prevent extra pain is to accept that we are not in control. We can also work to rid ourselves of unnecessary pain. This pain can come in many forms...anxiety, negative self talk, depression, anger etc... Working on this could be through many avenues, medications, therapy, making a conscious effort to correct our thinking errors when warranted. Another avenue would be through drawing closer to our higher power even when the dark forces are telling us it is the exact reason we are experiencing pain.
As we pray to have courage to accept His will, no matter what it may be, He will grant it. He loves us and creates a feeling of peace. That peace is what we should follow through our own personal refineries. If we do, we will come out stronger and more amazing than we could ever imagine.
