Stress and Strain - The Bow and Arrow Analogy
I've come across an amazing quote from Oswald Chambers "My Utmost for His Highest"

Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says - "I cannot stand any more." God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. For what have you need of patience just now? Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. "Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him."

Hang in there Zimbabwe!
We may not know what He plans for us, but His plans remain pure and holy. So must we.
