God is in Control and Cares about me

I have been angry with God. I have wanted God to answer specific prayers I have had but the prayers have not been answered. I can not for the life of me wonder why not. I would ask, What is bad with me that God will not answer my prayers? But at the end of the day, God is in control. God is Sovereign. And God is good. And I have to trust that. I have to trust that. It is hard and difficult to trust that. But I have to. Something in me is gently telling me that I have to trust that God is specifically invested in me and my life and is working things out for my good.

I can't see it but I know it's true. Something deep inside knows that God is real and is inherently concerned with the affairs of my life. God does not like pain. God does not like seeing those who believe in pain. That is a deeply rooted belief in Divinity. God is good and loves all things good. Because there is evil in the world there will be things that are not good, but at the end of the day, GOD--IS--GOOD.

I just told myself that I have to pull myself out of the world and the doubts the world has and believe in the Sovereignty and the goodness of God our creator. Believe that my friends. The pain and suffering of the world has been overcome by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That is a deep theology to believe in but it is true any how. It is not about being able to float around town but it is about not being consumed with fear or doubt or worry. It is about living free from the suffering of the world. There will be pain but there does not have to be suffering of the soul. Hearts will break but there will be no suffering. (Lord have mercy)

There will be strength to stand up against every evil and wicked thing that comes your way. There will be strength to proclaim the good things that God has promised all who believe. Yes, my friends, it takes strength to believe that your tears will be smiles of joy. It takes strength to believe that life will be better. It takes stength to live the best life God has for us. It takes strength for that my friends.

But know that God is good. God sees exactly what you are dealing with. A chapter in my book is titled "God Knows". God knows what you are feeling. God knows what you are struggling with and is not far from helping. Not far at all. It is just a matter of time. But we (I) must be careful to let God be God and be in control. God has a greater plan with all the drama going on. God's plan is greater than anything we can ever come up with. Remember, God does honor the Holy Scripture. What is in there is true, so trust that. Everything good will be established. Trust that. Trust God. Amen.
