Our trials are supposed to produce endurance, not keep us down forever.
I know that I'm not the only one who's been through the most and back in this lifetime. Which makes our problems not so special.
Making our problems "special" allows us to fall into victimhood far longer than we should, when there's someone out there who needs a voice like yours in this very moment.
In other words, your blocking the blessing you are supposed to be to someone else when you're sitting in the misery of the trial for far too long.
I'm not saying to be a machine and just "suck it up", but what I am saying is to process it, grieve it and move through it, in the timing that it requires.
James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing."
