Problems

Everyday we face problems some are big, some are small. Although at times many things feel random and wrong we need to remember God is sovereign over everything. He fits everything into a pattern for good, but only if we trust him. Every problem we face teaches us something, and molds us into the masterpiece he created us to be. The very same problem that teaches us something can become a stumbling bock if we allow it, reacting in distrust and defiance. We have to choose many times each day to either trust him or defy him.
If we thank him for our problems it can open our mind to the possibility of benefits from our difficulties. Tell him and he will embrace them with his loving presence. He won't necessarily remove them but his wisdom can bring good out of each and every one of them.
26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.  Romans 8:26-28 The Message
