I find hope in the fact that hard times will come to an end. Nothing is permanent. I wish all the good things would last forever, but one positive aspect of change is that it also brings hard things to a close. God is very deeply with us even as we move through the worst kind of suffering, and resurrection comes and brings hope too.

For reflection:

• How do you find yourself these days?

• If you were to make a playlist of songs that reflect your current thoughts and feelings, what songs would you put on there? And why?

• Is there anything going on in the world that you wish would end or something that you just wish was different? What is it, and why do you wish it was different. Is there a call for you?

• Just spend a few quiet moments talking to God about all of this.
