No one likes hard times. In fact, we rather such problems wouldn’t even exit. Some even question why God allow such events to occur. This is because they look at them as an invasion and not a blessing. Even when they brought them into existence, their initial reaction is anger, affixing blame, and the why me syndrome. Beloved, God never promises life without problems. But He assures us He will always be there through such seasons.
It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” -Deuteronomy 31:8, AMP
So, this situation has you baffled. It’s unlike any problem you’ve ever encountered. What seems to be only something minor has developed into a major hardship. You see no way out. You’ve exhausted all resources available and it’s worse. It appears prayers aren’t working. You feel frustrated, angry, and hopeless. Many have offered advice. Some wise while others counsel only makes you regret you shared anything with them. You come to realize your best choice is to be still and know God is working it out for your good. (Romans 8:28).
In this difficult time, something incredible is brewing. When you look through natural lenses, it looks hopeless. But when you refocus and seek God’s Word, you realize He is working behind the scenes. Beloved, challenging times adds flavor to life. They teach us, equips us and help us see how meaningful life is. This is not to harm you, but to empower and strengthen you.

What you saw as an intrusion, the Lord will use it and do super abundantly beyond what you asked or think. (Ephesians 3:20). What seemed as hard and impossible to change fills you with unquenchable joy and peace. Someone with influence blesses you with an opportunity of a lifetime.
