When Life Seems Unbearable

Life can be pure bliss- when all goes well.  But if circumstances make your life seem unbearable?

For instance, Sally, in the United States who lost most of her possessions in  a hurricane, explains:  "I don't know how much more I could take.  Many days I felt that I was near a breaking point." 



Or what if a loved one dies?  Janice, in Australia, says:  "When I lost both my sons, I had to gather the fragments of my shattered life and reassemble them as best I could. I begged God:  'Please, my heart can't take any more!  Just let me sleep. I don't want to wake  up again.

Daniel, on the other hand, was devastated when his  wife was unfaithful. He explains:  "When my wife confessed that she had been  unfaithful, it was like a knife pierced my heart. I felt this physical pain stabbing me again and again-and it lasted several months."

This issue of the Watchtower will consider how life can be worth living even when  

Disaster strikes

A loved one dies

A spouse  is unfaithful

Life becomes unbearable
