“...If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'..."

JOB 13-15

Job keeps his trust and hope in God despite the fact that he does not understand the reasons for his suffering...

13“Keep silent and let me speak;

then let come to me what may.

14Why do I put myself in jeopardy

and take my life in my hands?

15Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him;

ACTS 8:26-40

Phillip meets an Ethiopian eunuch who is reading from Isaiah on the prophecies of Christ...

34The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

JOURNAL 

Life is just hard. It is not fair...not in the way we are blessed or in the way we suffer. Rarely do we get what we deserve and yet many times I find myself questioning my own circumstances and asking God why. I think God ultimately wants me to ask these questions and seek him for the answers even if I never get them. For in the seeking I find God even if I never get the answer. I ultimately think that is the purpose.

 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^b but do not have love, I gain nothing.
