The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and He saves those who are crushed in spirit. The water heater goes out on Friday night instead of Monday morning. You run out of hot water at the beginning of your shower rather than at the end. The electricity goes off just as you turn on the hair dryer. The car breaks down on the way to work instead of after work.
Life can be full of annoyances.
Sometimes though, life can hit you with REAL challenges. Your relationship falls apart. Your boss blows a fuse. Your family suffers a tragedy. It seems as though no one is going through what we have to endure.
