Hi. I am praying for you. Don't worry. I know the pain is bad and the guilt and feeling of failing , but remember all of those feeings are the devil. Because we are used to acting we don't understand the silence. God I'd using this silence to teach us patience and self control. I am so bad at this when I don't see something being done I start to go ahead and try to fix it my self.

We have to realize that there is so much that God is teaching us personally through this trial by fire. He hasn't left us and he isn't going to leave us. We just forget to lean on him.

He has this. We may not understand but he has us.

Will talk later phone dying.
 
Does God Know What You're Going Through?

by Jon Walker

“Now that the worst is over, we're pleased we can report that we've come out of this with conscience and faith intact, and can face the world—and even more importantly, face you with our heads held high. But it wasn't by any fancy footwork on our part. It was God who kept us focused on him, uncompromised.†(2 Corinthians 1:12 MSG)

In order to get through what you’re going through, focus on who God is — his unchanging nature. Regardless of circumstances and how you feel, hang on to God’s unchanging character.

Your circumstances cannot change the character of God. God’s grace is still in full force; he is still for you, even when you don’t feel it.

Remind yourself what you know to be eternally true about God: He is good, he loves you, he is with you, he knows what you’re going through, he cares, and he has a good plan for your life.

Raymond Edman once said, “Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.â€

Talk About It

  • What has God told you in the light that you now doubt in the dark?
  • Why do you doubt God now?
  • Talk about this truth: Your circumstances cannot change the character of God.
