Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.

I have experienced a nuclear-grade brokenness in a relationship. That night, as I was praying, a vision appeared before my eyes: Jesus was holding me tightly, and my hands were also holding onto Him tightly; a sense of real peace then descended upon me. That evening, the Holy Spirit moved me to speak words of praise: "The love of Jesus is omnipresent; it never loses connection, and it never abandons." He also said to me, "I will carry your wounds." Although I tried to be strong and insisted, "It doesn't hurt," Jesus saw my vulnerability and said to me, "Come back into My arms and rest in My peace."
This period of sorrow unexpectedly became the turning point that broke my spiritual inertia. Having been a believer for many years, I had never been like this before for several consecutive months, I spent 45 minutes every single night praying from the bottom of my heart. The companionship, understanding, and encouragement of Jesus became my greatest motivation to press forward every day.
Difficulties arise at different stages of life. We are all human; we all have weaknesses, and we all have emotions. Only the Lord, who created the heavens, the earth, and all things, truly understands our hearts and our wounds. He is a Lord who empathizes deeply with human weakness and is filled with compassion. I am even grateful for the brokenness of this relationship, as it allowed me to rediscover my life's center and personal value, teaching me to surrender my anxiety to the Lord in prayer. He reconstructed my noble identity as His child and healed my anxiety-prone personality. On this journey of faith, it was my first time experiencing this "peace amidst sorrow" a wonder that words cannot describe. People can be unfaithful because we all live in a fallen world; including myself, we may neglect or affect those around us due to various events, emotions, and changing environments. Life will end, and the promises and health of this world will change, but the love of Jesus remains forever the same, and His peace will accompany you through these difficulties and transitions.
During this time of being alone with God, He spoke to me through a new hymn released just this year, encouraging me as I walked through this dark valley. If you have lost hope in your sorrow, He actually already knows. Waiting is merely a process, a connection for God and man to establish a deeper relationship. Only by placing your focus on God's truth will He grant you peace in suffering, hope in waiting, and faith in trials, this is the greatest gift that Jesus Christ has given us.
