Day 6 

God is not frustrated or taken off guard by our weaknesses. He is working in the very things that seem like they are crushing us. 

Pray

Holy Spirit, please pray for me—for the things I would pray for if I knew everything you know.

Read

God promises his children that he will make sure that every circumstance—even the most painful—will turn out for their benefit.

Romans 8:26-28

Reflect

Over and over, the Bible emphasizes that God made the universe. His wisdom is too vast for us to understand. So in a mysterious way, we can rest knowing that we can’t always understand how he’s working things out. But he asks us to trust him. God has a purpose for your pain. 

Respond

You can’t force yourself to trust God. Trusting him requires supernatural faith. No wonder it feels so difficult! But God’s Spirit is delighted to open our eyes to see how he is at work—if we ask him. Ask God to strengthen your faith.
