When you are heart-broken and despair looms at your door and your life is filled with trials and tribulation it is only human to ask God “why? Why me”? We may never understand why things are happening the way they are and what the purpose might be. But we must remember that understanding the reason or the purpose is not our job. It isn’t necessary for us to know why. It is only necessary to trust that God does. God is in control and He has already written the last word of the last chapter of the book of our lives. When we can’t feel His hand, we must trust His heart. We must remember that we serve a loving, merciful God and His will for our life is better than we could ever imagine or even desire for ourselves.
When life isn’t going exactly the way we planned, that is when we must hold on to the word of God. He says that He will supply our every need. Our every need, not just the needs that we know we have but even the needs that we are not even aware of. Our God is all knowing and all powerful and if He says he will supply all of my need than I believe Him.
Have you ever attended a church service when suddenly The Holy Spirit starts speaking to you? The preacher hits a nerve and you are overwhelmed with emotion because you weren’t even aware that you were struggling with that particular issue? God knew it and that is why you were in attendance at that church, on that day, to hear that sermon. When the Holy Spirit starts to move in your life it is because your heart is right with God. Remember, God knows our heart.
Sometimes it is hard to pray for the things we want because we fear of what it might cost us. Fear that our children might hit rock bottom, end up in jail, living on the street, or even dead. Fear is not from God it is from Satan. So I do pray for my son, Jason, every day. I pray that he will turn his heart over to God and become the man that God intended for him to be. Only the Lord knows how long it will take for Jason to repent and open up his heart to God so I pray for strength and continued faith that God will answer my prayers. I have had good days, bad days and days in between but every day is a blessed day because I am saved by the grace of Jesus Christ.
