To many of us, when bad things happen, we always focus on finding the solutions. When the results are not satisfactory, we get anxious. When we lay our worries to God’s hands, God will give us peace that is out of this world. Even the situation is not resolved, we know that God is with us. When things turn worse, God is preparing behind the scenes. We just need to have faith and listen carefully with a living hope that God will give us guidance.
“As it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him” 1 Corinthians 2:9
“ In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” 1 Peter 1:6-7
