Lent Suffering

I tend to suffer during Lent and Holy Week is extremely hard for me. It has been this way since I graduated from college. My priest friend who was once my spiritual adviser have told me that it may this way because I am close to Jesus. I have known great struggles in my life and I know Jesus have seen me and held me steady through it all. But I tend to struggle even more during this Holy time. Every year I tell God I don’t want to go through the struggle, but alas I do anyway. Maybe I sound like Jesus in the garden and maybe I don’t trust Him all the way. That’s when I should have more faith in Him, cling to Him more tightly.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.  1 Peter 5: 10-11
