Do you ever think your marriage will fail or maybe even wish it would? There was a time about fifteen years ago when I was ready to give up. With the addition of unexpected circumstances, I felt as if a struggling relationship was too much to endure. Until someone wise spoke words that resonated and changed my thinking. Perhaps, they will help you too.

Unfortunately, on this side of heaven, life is painful and challenging at times. We have all experienced hurt, no matter how hard we have tried to avoid the feelings. The good news is we don’t have to wait for the storm to pass and the hurt to cease before we can find peace. God desires for us to have it now. Find out how to find peace in the storm of unexpected pain.
Most Comments During 2021 Third Quarter
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your encouraging words and enjoy hearing your thoughts.
Do you ever pray for God to close a door He doesn’t want you to go through? Then He shuts it, and you find yourself in utter shock and despair. It leaves you at a crossroads and usually in the middle of a waiting period. Quite possibly, you feel helpless and out of options. However, we have two choices that help in the wait when God closes a door. Will you choose what benefits or hurts you?

Grace & Truth exists to point readers and writers to Jesus! Let’s bless and encourage one another.
To answer your question Maree these past few months have been ones of having to press into the Lord’s strength & comfort.
As we have been in lock down in our area & state for this entire quarter due to the Delta variant ravaging our state.
Which meant that I couldn’t get across state borders to attend both my daughter’s wedding & my eldest granddaughter’s wedding interstate.
This has been such an emotionally painful time for this Mama & grandmama…
Blessings,
Jennifer
Oh, Jennifer, I am so sorry. Your circumstances sound so heartbreaking. This darn Covid has robbed us of so much. I bet your heart was broken. I hope that soon you will be able to see your daughters and granddaughter. Praying you can celebrate in some way soon. Praying for your heart. Blessings, Maree
I appreciate your consistency in pointing up to healthier ways to live in relationship with each other and with God as evidenced in your blog posts, Maree. Thank you!
Lisa, Thank you for your encouraging words. Maree
Thank you for sharing these, Maree. You have such a beautiful way of expressing our true feelings in painful situations. I was especially touched by the closed door post and by the story of your stepfather and looking around for miracles in the midst of pain. Michele’s post, too. Thank you for your encouragement today! Love and blessings to you!
Thank you, Trudy, for your encouragement. I love hearing what appeals to you. Blessings, Maree
