Embracing The Struggle(Kanesha Andrews) I struggle! I struggle every day to keep my faith. It’s not always easy. There are good days when I feel hopeful. Then there are days when I question why I am here on Earth and what my purpose is. On those good days, I smile, full of life and gratitude to God for what I have been given, always mindful not to take it for granted. However, on those not-so-good days, I feel sad, angry, and full of questions.

It’s always a back and forth with me—good days and not-so-good days. But I continue to pray. I pray for my family, I pray for others, and I pray for myself. I do my best to focus on the good things and not let the bad things get the better of me. It is a struggle.

I continue to struggle, I continue to go back and forth, and I continue to pray.

I pray for answers, I pray for peace of mind, and most of all, I pray because it is the only thing that seems to make sense. Nothing else does.

Yes, I struggle... I openly admit that I struggle. I am human after all.

On those not-so-good days, I consistently pray for one thing: I ask God to continue to walk with me.
