“I am laid low in the dust;
preserving my life according to your word.
I gave an account of my ways and you answered me;
teach me your decrees.
Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,
that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.
My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word.
Keep me from deceitful ways;
be gracious to me and teach me your law.
I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I have set my heart on your laws.
I hold fast to your statutes, Lord;
do not let me be put to shame.
I run in the path of your commands,
for you have broadened my understanding.”
Psalm 119:25-32 NIV

Rocky paths can be hard because you are off balance, but the design is for you to confront fears, deal with pain, and be strengthened. God allows it because there is a new best for us.
Remain faithful!
