Being Hard-Pressed

NLCC Walnut Grove Campus

There are situations or seasons where we feel hard-pressed. Where we know that life has not gone the way we have wanted it to. Where we wish for a different way for it to go. And in these times we truly wonder where to turn. Part of the beauty of the Bible is that it is brutally honest and vulnerable. As we get closer to Easter, we find that Jesus went through his own dark night of the soul. He wanted a different way. But he also prayed a very bold prayer that gave him hope and resolve to face his most hard-pressed of times. And I think we can learn much from it.
