Often when we appear to be in the most distressing and dark times in our lives, this is the very time of greatest growth and spiritual elevation, because we are facing our hidden fears and we are being given the opportunity to "move them out" of our way, and liberate ourselves of them once and for all! 

Sometimes we do need to receive help to effectively move out these lower vibrational energies, so that they no longer act as magnets. But once the energy is effectively cleared and the lessons have been learned, we no longer attract these types of experiences, so we can be assured that whatever is coming to us is necessary for our evolvement. Once it is learned, it will be over. Everything changes, except God and that is the greatest assurance we have to get us through the growth process.
