I often wonder: LORD, are things supposed to be this hard? Is life really this excruciatingly hard? I’m sure you have been there too. Why is there disease, strife and brokenness? PSALM 23:1 “THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT.” When you look at the world today and see all the evil and … More IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY
