[QUOTE="Christine, post: 31452287, member: 21"] Praise the Lord! He is in control. And He hears our prayers, because we come to Him washed by the blood of His only Son. I am so thankful for all that He is doing, whether He explains it to me or not, His ways are higher than ours and His thoughts are higher than ours. And just as Job, came to the humble realization that he had no right to question let alone be angry with this GREAT GREAT God we serve, (Job 38:1-42:6) I also have no right, but simply bow in awe and say His will be done. Because, Romans 8:28 is truth along with all the other promises and proclamations of His great love for His children who have believed and received Him. Hope you fellow members of His family have a sweet God filled day! ❤ And if you have not joined His family, there is always room for one more!
