A life crisis may be a catalyst for needed change. Think of a crisis that became a positive turning point in your life. It broke the status quo. It set you on a new path. It was the beginning of a new maturity. It produced a deepening in your relationship with your Lord. A crisis within itself may not be good, but our reaction can be good. Where it takes us can be to a new plateau. That which takes us to our knees may be what is needed to lift us, to restore us, and set us on a fresh path.
Father, it was when I was afflicted that I begin to understand that there was a better and deeper way of living. Thank you, my dear Abba for how you turn these things around for good. Amen!
