We all know someone, or perhaps we are that someone, who seems to face one relentless wave after another. Just as they recover from one crisis, a new one appears on the horizon. A health issue is followed by a financial strain, which is then complicated by a family problem. It can feel like they just cannot catch a break. Watching this, or living it, can be discouraging and can tempt us to question where God is in the midst of the unending struggle. It is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when the tunnel itself feels like it goes on forever. This feeling of being stuck in a season of perpetual hardship is real, and it can be spiritually and emotionally exhausting.
