His Sovereign Rule Over Our Lives

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

It is very easy to become frustrated, concerned, depressed, or even angry, when things seem to be piling up against us.  As we mature in our relationship with God, we learn to understand that He is always with us and He is always in control.  As we mature in our relationship with Our Heavenly Father, we learn to find comfort, even joy, in every circumstance that we encounter.  

This supernatural comfort and joy that defies the emotion that our flesh demands from us will be possible as we come to trust Our Heavenly Father in His sovereign rule over our lives.  He has allowed us to be where we are.  Even though we cannot see it at times, He is controlling all things in our lives for our eternal good.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your sovereign rule over our lives.  We rejoice in knowing that we can find peace in You when the world is offering us none.  We pray that Your Holy Spirit will will strengthen us when the world tries to weaken us.  We pray that the Holy Spirit will turn us back to the light of victory when the world is trying to turn us to the darkness of defeat.  We pray that through it all our trust in You will be complete.
