Pain and fatigue can deter you from change. They make us weary and exhausted. What if instead of looking at the hardships, we look at the lessons we can learn from pain?

Pain allows us to share in the brokenness of Christ’s body. It leads us to communion with our Father and a deeper prayer life. We begin to learn more about ourselves through prayer. It seems like our false self is sure about everything in life. Yet our prayers melt away our mental images about who we think we are and brings to light our ideas of what our social standing is among our community of family and friends. You can’t really realize change unless you first become humble about who you are!
