Mm-mm.

There is suffering.

I have, you know, poured out my heart and gutted my soul in a way that I have not even come close to doing before the divorce happened, and so the suffering is real.

But I will also say the suffering isn't in vain when we lean on the Lord.

Um, the very afflictions and the pain and sorrow, you know, you suffer now through this divorce will be replaced by wisdom, greater compassion, and endless manifestations of beauty for ashes.

Isaiah tells us that the Lord was sent to bind up the brokenhearted, to comfort all of those that mourn.

He was sent to them that mourn in Zion.

How would you say that those feelings manifest themselves, and, and what do you think is their role in all of this? And then Troy, you have something that you've talked about previously, a warring heart, and I'd love to hear about how you overcame what you call a warring heart.
