God never said we would understand everything along the way. He didn't promise that there wouldn't be any paim, suffering and disappointments. But He did promise that it would all work out for our good.

There are some things you can only learn in a storm.

You can't pray away every difficulty; you can't pray away everything you don't like. If the situation is not changing, then God is using the situation to change you.

God never said we would understand everything along the way. He didn't promise that there wouldn't be any pain, suffering and disappointments. But He did promise that it would all work out for our good.

The difficulties you face are not there to defeat you. They are there to increase you. Just

Everything that happens in life—the difficulties, the delays, the things that are not fair—they're not random. God is giving you the opportunity to grow, to come up higher. He's getting you prepared to handle the weight of favor, the weight of influence.

Understand, adversities are simply a test of your faith. Perhaps God wants to see how you will treat other people when you are mistreated.

Don't wait for things to turn around, and then you'll have a good attitude. You have to be your best where you are. God doesn't have to bring you out of the trouble; He can cause you to flourish in the trouble.

Life happens to us all. There are going to be different seasons, ups and downs, victories and losses, good friends and betrayals, promotions and setbacks. If you'll stay in faith and keep moving forward, in time, God will make all things beautiful.

You're not going to be sure how it's all going to work out, but that is what will cause you to grow, that's when you'll learn to trust God in a greater way. God is not interested only in the destination. He's teaching you along the way; He's getting you prepared and growing you up. He will lead you purposefully into situations where you're in over your head, your friends can't help you, and you don't have the experience you think you need.

Anything you must have to be happy, the enemy can use it against you. When you can say, "God, this is what I want, but even if it doesn't work out my way, I'm still going to be happy." That takes away the power of the enemy.

Every storm you went through, every bad break, and every dark, lonely season deposited something on the inside. It pushed you to mature, pushed you to trust God in a greater way, pushed you to be more resilient and determined.
