The most amazing truths are sometimes the hardest to accept

Personally,  one of the worst feelings is knowing that you have no control over the things around you. And I think God has given me a heart that is at least occasionally sympathetic and compassionate towards other people. So it seems like the feelings of helpless is worse when I see my friends going through times of suffering and I can't do anything about it. But we, as believers, know the Bible says that God will work according to his own purposes and also to our benefit, even when it is presently beyond our own understanding. For me, there are times when I feel like I cannot fully accept this truth, but I know it is Truth nonetheless. Holy Spirit, help us to find peace and comfort in the promises we have through Jesus.
