After being blindsided by a breakup, this author initially felt angry, hurt, and confused, and she wondered where God was. But as she prayed, a more tangible feeling of God’s love turned her thoughts in a new direction.
Although our prayers may seem like small contributions in a world full of disagreements and trouble, each sincere prayer, lived, brings more love to our interactions with others, and the blessings ripple out into our communities and the world.
Anytime we can listen to God and focus on spiritual growth and healing instead of giving in to despair, self-justification, or anger, we triumph and go forward.
I wondered if I would have enough time for everything and still be able to succeed in the doctoral program I was embarking upon. I debated whether I should even continue with it.
I knew that the solution to my problem would be to turn my thoughts around and purposefully spend time learning about my spiritual identity instead of just wallowing in how I was feeling.
