The hope of a rat

Life is a constant struggle against outside elements and ourselves, how we respond to struggles, trauma, and disappointment. We are just as likely to succumb to ourselves as we are to outside pressure, jeopardizing our ability to cope with hardships as our beatdowns accumulate. When we lose sight of that hope, our will to fight fades. It’s important to remember that if God can give a rat the will to survive, He can give us the means to succeed. It’s a cliche to say that life isn’t fair, and we should expect as much.
