Stay in peace, knowing that God wouldn’t have allowed it if He wasn’t going to use it for your good. It may not feel good, but this is where you have to show God what you’re made of. Anyone can be happy when things are going their way. Anyone can thank God when doors are opening, but if you want to pass this test and see God’s favor in new ways, you have to thank Him when it doesn’t work out, you have to have a smile when you could be complaining, be good to others when someone is not being good to you. This is what faith is all about.
Thank you for sharing this reflection, @FaithinGod.
Amen to this! Let us always call to the Lord for help every time we feel like giving up. The Lord will give you strength and courage to face everything. Remember that God will always be by your side through ups and downs. The Lord has great plans for you! Call unto Him and praise Him.
Focus on the things we can control and entrust God the things we can’t. We may be disappointed that things didn’t go the way we wanted but God still has better plans for us. Everything we’ve been praying and waiting for is on the other side of not giving up. Keep the faith. Keep believing. Keep going. There is so much more God has in store for us.
