The Lord's purpose

2 - Reflect
Many times we go through situations that we can not understand in the moment they happen. Confused moments in which we prefer to be away from God, simply because we do not understand why He puts certain challenges in front of us. It is easier to question and be angry with Him than to call ourselves to prayer and deep reflection about what is happening to us. We are impatient and suffer more because we find ourselves stubborn to the divine will.
The reality is that all the obstacles and challenges will only put us to the test but will eventually make us stronger and more faithful Christians. Because behind that discomfort that may be happening to us, God will have a greater purpose: learning. Our Father will call us to give the best of ourselves always, even when it may be difficult for ourselves, or we think that the plan is the wrong one. Hindering ourselves or showing ourselves irreverent to Our Lord will only bring us darkness and greater confusion at the moment in which we need His presence the most. He will not leave us alone, it will not be an instant consolation but He will be by our side to show us valuable lessons that will not always be the easiest to learn.
Keep calm in times of indecision or stress, know that there are tools to overcome the pain and connect with the Lord from the depths of our hearts, it will be what takes us away from distrust.
