Why is life so hard?

As I stare out my window today, the Wyoming sky is blue with only lazy, puffy clouds floating by. It is a beautiful day. And yet, my heart is heavy. There are days when life seems just so hard. . .

People I love are struggling with cancer, with pain, and with an uncertain future. How do you trust God when you see bad things happen? I have come to understand that I need to trust God in all situations, however, there are seasons when trusting God comes easier than others.
