We all know that life can be extremely difficult at times, but someone else could be having a more difficult time than we are. While pondering these things today, the question came to mind " Have you ever been swallowed by a whale?" of course my inward response was, no . My thoughts turned to this statement: "Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly and said, I cried by reason of my affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me, out of the belly of hell." - Jonah 2:1,2 Here was someone who really felt like he was in Hell. I then thought to myself, things are not so bad after all.
