In the depths of suffering, it is natural to question where relief and light can be found. When darkness overshadows every step forward, hope can feel distant and elusive. But hold on, there is a solution to your problems!
Job 30:26 is a verse from the Bible. In this verse, Job, who has gone through immense suffering and is expressing his deep distress, says:
“But when I looked for good, evil came; and when I waited for light, darkness came.”
Job reflects on his life and circumstances, noting that despite his efforts to find good or positive outcomes, he has only experienced more difficulty and hardship. He expected good things to happen, but instead, he encountered evil, and where he anticipated light or relief, darkness prevailed.
Like Job, many people today can understand this deep longing for relief that seems elusive.
God is the help you are looking for. Just like Job, who endured unimaginable hardships, you can find strength, hope, and healing in your relationship with the God of the Bible.
My dear friend, when everything seems bleak and your cries for relief echo in the silence, remember that God is listening. He not only hears your anguished pleas but also sees the intricate details of your pain and understands your heartache. Through prayer, you can lay your burdens at His feet and find peace in His presence.
Open your heart to God, and allow Him to gently lead you through this season of darkness into the light.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
