Gratefulness isn’t always easy. It can sometimes be especially difficult when all the blessings in our life seem to get blockaded and blinded by all our burdens.

No doubt working around this takes proactiveness, determination, and practice. Even then, we may not feel any better in the moment, but perhaps we can at least face our burdens with slightly more hope.

For believers, it’s always reassuring to rest in our faith, knowing that God cares for us, helps us, strengthens us, and God never wastes any of the pains we go through.
