Therapist @TTuck10 shares, “One of the things I tell my clients is: I want you to suffer.
And they’ll look at me like, ‘What?’ I’m like, yeah—I want you to suffer. I want you to struggle. I am not here to give you relief. I’m here to help you get stronger so that, when you suffer, you can look back and realize, ‘Hey, look what I did.’ And for the believers, ‘Look what God helped me get through.’
I look at King David, and when you read the Psalms, he’s saying things like, ‘God, thank you for the afflictions of my youth.’ And he’s looking back at God: ‘You trained my hands and my fingers for war.’ When he was a boy in the fields protecting the flock, he was fighting off animals and going through all kinds of things. He had no idea what was going to come later in life. And he realized all that training in the field helped him win battles.
And then, when he won those battles, he came back bloodied, beaten up, sweating. It was awful—and he won—but he always said, ‘God gave me the victory.’
And it was also his physical exertion and the training that led up to those moments. So I want people to go through enough to realize, ‘Yeah, I’ve got the strength. I’ve got what it takes. And therefore, I’m going to use it for something bigger than me.’”
