Have you ever been caught up in extreme situations? Over the years I have found myself in places that created extreme emotions. It was overwhelming to go from one state of mind to an entirely different one in a matter of minutes, but it happens. It is draining even for the most spiritual and faithful of minds. I felt like it was my fight for years to understand it. It took the realization that slowing down and reflecting on the situation helped to control the emotions wrapped up in those extremes, and then clarity followed. That clarity was finding comfort in prayer. Asking God for balance... To be firm yet empathetic. To be patient, but not complacent. To not want too much, but not expect too little. To give me the perspective needed to see what exactly that balance in those situations we all face should be. It's an understanding that God can answer prayers in many ways, but He can't do it without our faith, our strength and our ability to embrace the way He answers them. It is simply the balance of what we expect VS what He knows we need.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and have a blessed week!
