And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28


Even though life has pain, there is joy and contentment to be found in the midst of it. Joy in the grace which sees us through, and contentment in the midst of the situation, as we place our trust in our Heavenly Father. He is the giver of the grace, that helps us to grow through each heartache and sorrow. His power is perfected in our weakness. If we make a choice to submit to His will and seek Him, we will come to realize that there is nothing that happens in our lives, which is outside of His control or not part of His purpose. We may blow it, and we may fail, but He is always there to pick us up and restore us. There is no situation, or problem in our lives that Jesus Christ is incapable of handling. If we are in His will, we can certainly trust without hesitation, He is there also and working His purpose, in His time. It may not be fun, it may not be comfortable, but we will come through it victorious and changed if we will trust Him.

Prayer

Lord, apart from You, we can do nothing. Allow Your power to be made evident through our weakness. We submit to You and trust that each step we take, You will be there, and that each obstacle in this life we face, You are in control of. We believe that You will work through each situation and bring good things into our lives as a result. We thank you and rejoice in Your goodness, even in the midst of adversity; You are our God; You are in Control and we Trust in You, to do above and beyond what we can imagine! Amen.
