If we were living in the ideal world we would be totally free of unwanted situations in our lives. We may want to think that life would be easier without the daily stress and challenging situations that we have to work through. We would be free from worry and filled with peace, joy, happiness, and contentment. There would be no lingering situations in our lives that we have to deal with.
In this imperfect world many of us are faced with situations that seem to go on and on. Sometimes we are tired of dealing with them; however, despite the hardship we continue to face our situations head-on until we go through them or we find the courage to live with them.
I believe that these lingering situations are in our lives to help us to become our best selves. By ourselves these lingering situations can have a negative effect on us physiologically and psychologically. However, with the help of our Creator and our support system we can receive the strength to fight or go through these lingering situations.
In your lingering situations trust God and stay positive and you will obtain the strength to face your lingering situations. In time, your Creator may choose to terminate the situations or give you the necessary strength to live with them.
My prayer is for you to be given all the tools that you need to help you with your present situations. May you find peace in the midst of your storm.
