Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.

Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.

Yieldedness is vital in listening to what He has to say.

When we stray from His presence, He longs for you to come back. He weeps that you are missing out on His love, protection and provision. He throws His arms open, runs toward you, gathers you up, and welcomes you home.

Suffering prepares you by training you to trust God and know that He is always at work in your life.

Whatever brings you to your knees in weakness carries the greatest potential for your personal success and spiritual victory.

When trouble comes, focus on God's ability to care for you.
