Don't Blame God

What HeDOESdo is give us the strength to get through it all one way or another. Please note, I did not say "comfort," I said "strength." I've had a lot of miserable lonely terrifying times when I've been so emotionally hurt and in need of comfort that it was like a physical ache. God did not come down and make me feel all better by enveloping me in His heavenly arms or any of that other stuff that I sometimes hear people talking about. What He did was simply give me strength and the assurance that I would get through whatever it was that needed getting through. I still hurt and ached for comfort, but I knew that "this too would pass."

I've learned to simply ask Him to do His will and make me okay with whatever happens. Each time I pray, I ask Him to make me more willing to go along with His will. Even when things are going a little ragged for me, I still have peace knowing that whatever happens, God is going to get me through it, no matter how painful and unpleasant the process.

God doesn't cause our problems; He doesn't "dump" on us; He doesn't cause our pain. HeDOESlove us and wants to help us through our trials with His heavenly presence. Just ask Him.
