The answer would be yes, and no. Life is all about overcoming obstacles. There is always going to be stuff on your path that you are going to want to jump over, run around or even run back the other way from. We have to get past the hard points in order to enjoy the good ones.
Having health issues, there have been lots of rocks placed on my path. Are they easy to get around? No, they aren’t. But will I face them and keep going? Absolutely I will. It is all about how you react to difficult situations that shows you how hard you’re willing to fight to keep moving forward. Sometimes it takes days, weeks, months even years! All my battles are different, but the one thing I still struggle with most of the time is not giving it to God. Sometimes I think I can do it on my own. I try but then I get so tired and worn out that I lose my energy. I’m down on the ground trying to get up with what I have left.
We aren’t meant to fight our battles on our own. We’re meant to seek God and let go of control and give it to Him. So many people this day and age don’t allow God to take control because they don’t know what it is going to look like for them, and they want to handle it themselves. I am here to say that when you give God control, so much peace and relief will be given to you. You will feel the weight being lifted off your shoulders. I would know, God has lifted so many battles off my shoulders that I literally cried because the unnecessary weight that I was carrying vanished.
It may not always get easier. It may get harder. No matter what God has you through the midst of the storm. Psalms 138:7 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.” God wants to take the weight off your shoulders, you were never meant to bear that weight and pain by yourself.
