This is a song by Shelley Moore Band that always speaks to me (the lyrics that I remember anyway):
Hearts are hurting, faith is shifting, but our souls don't rest on sand. Pillars of strength now piles of rubble; in tears we try to make sense of this puzzle. Seasons will change, colors will fade. These notes will be heard no more. One day the pain will cease to remain, but this was NEVER A STORY ABOUT ME. For now we cry wiping the tears from our eyes; we wait for You, we wait for You. You are making all things new. For now we cry wiping the tears from our eyes; we wait for You, we wait for You. You are making all things new.
To me this song says that no matter how "awful and unbearable" we think our circumstances are, we must remember that it is not about us; its about Him. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." James 1:2-3 Thank God for the times that you think you can't go on. To glorify God is to allow Him to show Himself through you. So all you have to do is let Him work.
