And for the Faith to accept and understand that it is GOD'S will, not our will, which is to be done. That's really the hardest part, isn't it, HD!

Amen to your beautiful post.

It is difficult to understand why things happen the way they do. I had desires to enter the church that never were fulfilled due to the unexpected illness and death of my father. But in hindsight it turned out for the best because of a different path that God has lead.

We know that everything is done according to precisely how the Father wishes them to be done. God may bless and grant our petitions, but whether He does or doesn't it is according to God's will. More importantly, we know that all things work together for our good. So whatever the answer is to our prayers, it is for our benefit.

And thank you for YOUR beautiful post. One of my prayers is,”Oh Lord, I don’t care if I lose, as long as you win.”

Do you believe that everything that happens here on earth is done and planned by God?
