God has never failed us. I don't know what tomorrow

The past isn't something we can change or enhance. It cannot be rearranged or made over to better satisfy our current state. I firmly believe that God wants us to put the past to rest—as if it has died and we are burying it. Once a person dies and you bury them, you have no means by which you can bring them back to life.

Perhaps this is what it was all about. Leaning on God when life made no sense, as well as when the answers seem clear.
