I feel like I have experienced a life’s worth of hard times in 2020. If another struggle/trial/obstacle is thrown my way, I might go crazy. When I focus on negativity, everything seems doomed. I hate to admit that my hopeless feelings lead me to excess food.

Romans 5:3 is, “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.”

Holy Bible, New Living Translation

Seeing the heavenly view changes my perspective. God is not finished with me and uses everything to make me more Christlike. Unlike food, the Lord comforts and helps me deal with tough times. When I seek Jesus, I find peace in the middle of my storm.
