God loves you and He wants to bring healing in your life, but more than that, He wants you to trust Him in the midst of your pain.

Flatten every mountain and hill
Sometimes we choose the hard way, to do things our own way, under our own strength. I can climb that mountain, we say. I’ve got this, we say. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. But it is the prideful man or woman who believes in himself, rather than believes in God.
Fill in every valley
Is the valley a good place to visit? Yes. But is it a good place to make camp? No. It keeps us from moving forward. And the truth is, that since the messiah has come, we have work to do, we have a calling, we have marching orders, and the valley can not hold us back.
Make the way smooth
In addition to the regular course correction that keeps us near the heart and will of God, we need a periodic removal of the things that may have surfaced in our lives, things which may cause us to stumble.
Make the way straight
Too often our lives become a zig zag of foolish behavior that takes us someplace we never intended to go. I believe as our hearts become more attuned to the heart of God, our sensors detect our going off path and provide constant correction, and a steady direction that is in line with the life God intends for us.
