It would be a total untruth to profess that we don’t feel the pressures of the times that we are living in. So, being well aware that there are no super human beings and our lives are mere ‘vapors’ (james 4:14), from where comes the inclination to persevere? That is…Why, go on from day to day? There is only one answer; But God!!! Becoming aware of this realization is profoundly strengthening… And we press on! Amen!

Why… you walking …not falling on the ground? Why your face have a smile on it… not all worried and full of frowns? Why you seem like you don’t have any problems… When I happen to ‘know’ you’re burdened down? Why…? aren’t you human? Why…tell me now! The answer is simple I pray you will believe… I trust always in Jesus and ask Him to daily lead I give ‘all’ my problems to Him, begging Him to take my hand For without God’s constant care I couldn’t go on – couldn’t stand! And, yes, I’m human and often the matters I do heed But the ‘weight’ of my burdens? He carries, not me I ‘rely’ upon His strength…having none of my own And indeed I do make mistakes on this road home But still, He loves me…forgiving, as He justly chides… Reminding, that for…me…He suffered and died Thus, I can respond with assurance When anyone asks me … Why?

Sometimes, we may feel that everything comes down on us. But serendipity does not respect we are, it just happens. But for all the down times, there are always a good times to offset them. We just have to be patient and wait for everything to turn around.

If you are asking why about the Coronavirus. Because diseases are percolating all the time, migrating and changing. They come and go, while we continue on, those of us that survive.

Why the unrest and demand for the quality and respect? It is the right time when people have the time and can do it. It's been a long time in coming and it will be over soon.

A great and important question that you explore, Joyce, in this inspirational poem. All of us must come to terms with how we respond to the eternal enigma of suffering.

Wonderful!

I WILL LOVE YOU, O LORD, MY STRENGTH. THE LORD
IS MY ROCK AND MY FORTRESS AND MY DELIVERER;
MY GOD, MY STRENGTH, IN WHOM I TRUST; MY SHIELD
AND THE HORN OF MY SALVATION, MY STRONGHOLD.
( PSALM 18:1-2 *NKJV )

Amen!
