When everything is right, there is not as much to be thankful for and we may take life for granted. When something goes wrong, we can thank God for the things that are right before us! ~Zina Hermez
Sometimes our lives can be forever changed: for example, if a loved one moves away, a friendship ends, or a family member becomes ill we can feel a sense of grief. When these doors close, it is difficult to not look back at them because they were open for so long. We have to adjust, we have to become comfortable with the uncomfortable, and we have to deal with the unknown. When matters change for what you see as the worst remember there is a safe place. That safe place is where you take comfort in the Lord, and are assured that He will be with you every step of the way. At these times, we have to rely on God. Suffering can humble our souls. When prompted to trust in God because of a dim situation rather than it being a choice we can feel scared. Will God really be there? Is he behind the scenes? If so, why the storm? Chaos does not mean that God is not around. Crisis does not mean that He does not care. He was the one that carried you through it and brought you this far. When you are trying to figure out how to deal with things when they go wrong. You need God. Don’t be afraid to trust in the Lord!
