"It will all work out". This phrase has been repeated throughout time. Perhaps the most comical yet true statement made on the subject was John Lennon when he said "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end". This perspective may cause us to raise an eyebrow or two. This attitude might seem fine when everything is okay, but when everything is not okay, this attitude, also is not okay.
Life can be overwhelming at times and usually we have three options for what to do about it. Option 1 is to wait and do nothing (it might end up getting better on its own). Option 2 is to try and fix what is not okay (this may fix the problem or it may not, but it keeps us hopeful). Option 3 is the saddest alternative and is a real problem for many around the world. Some become so depressed by their situation that they choose to leave it and the world behind, in other words, they lose hope that things will get better here. If you have not seen this option exercised by someone you love, it is possible you will. You may even think that option 3 is your best.
Please consider option 4. Option 4 is the one designed by our loving Heavenly Father. Option 4 is Jesus Christ. Option 4 is stronger at fighting hard times than any other. Option 4 tames and cures depression, turns hard times into life lessons, sins into forgiveness, broken hearts into mended and healed souls.
“It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers”
