We are sometimes given situations which seem inconvenient or intolerable
so that we may stop and realize what real inconvenience and intolerance is;
so that we may appreciate what we have; and
so that we may reassess what in our lives we think we have to do, as opposed to what He would have us do.
Let us thank God for those times where He steps in to show us that we must slow down, while reminding us of others' unchangeable life situations.
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
