Brokenness is a common feeling. I was scrolling through social media recently and read a few stories about people who were struggling. One person had been hurt, another one was battling through anxiety, and another was dealing with a sickness in the family. These stories made me realize the time it takes to recover from the brokenness; to put the pieces back together.
So, today, I just want to encourage you by telling you not to put an unrealistic expectation on yourself for healing. If you’re down, going through a valley, don’t say, “I want this over in three months,” or, “My plan is to have this all sorted out by January.” Why? Because you’ll be in the same situation you’re in right now, asking God why your plan didn’t come to fruition.
God’s plan is different than ours sometimes and, honestly, suffering is a part of life. So, if you’re feeling broken today, be patient. Let yourself be that way and don’t feel guilty about it. God is with you and He will see to it that you come out of the valley.
Just remember that it will happen in His time. Not yours.
Take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
