Above all, ask God to give you faith to believe that His providential will for you in these circumstances comes to you from His infinite wisdom and goodness and is ultimately intended for your good. And then ask God to give you a heart that is submissive to His providential will when it is contrary to your own plans.

Thanks Laurie.
DeleteIt's HIS Wisdom and Goodness I can rely on. Not mine! I try, sometimes do OK. BUT, He is IT. Need to focus that direction only.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
But why do we always try everything else first and then come to the Lord?
