I am trying

I am trying to say a word.
It just would not come.
I have it in my mind.
My heart choses to deny.

I am trying to understand.
It just doesn't make sense.
My heart tells me right.
My mind tells me wrong.


I am trying to be happy.
It just have to happen.
My heart tells me you are.
My mind tells me you will.


I am trying to love you.
It is wonderful.
My heart feels warm.
My mind is secure.

Here are some compelling reasons why people with a belief system often demonstrate greater resilience: Sense of Purpose and Meaning Believers often interpret suffering as part of a larger narrative or divine plan. This framing can transform pain into purpose, making adversity feel less arbitrary and more endurable. Hope Anchored in Something Greater Faith provides a long-view perspective.

Whether through prayer groups, congregations, or shared rituals, these networks foster connection and reduce isolation.
