God is good - all the time. Even when HE says, 'No.' And now I am aching to know - are you still in Michigan? I live in Okemos - just outside of Lansing... :-) May the peace of Christ rest upon you today. Loving Jesus, Karen Lisa,

Maybe God helped me to stumble upon your beautiful blog today (for the first time) in order to learn from you. I don't know. I'm still struggling to believe that I'll get my "yes," but I know that I need to be praying for God's will, not mine. Thank you for sharing your story.

I know it is said that God never gives us a burden that he believes we cannot handle. I am feeling now that God has a belief in my abilities that is greater than I can bare, my beloved son Jeff 49 was killed in an accident on March 13th of this year. He left me , a wife and 7 children, 4 are siblings who they adopted. and they are all under 13 yrs . while his natural children are all over 21 yrs. Why did he leave these children without their father. how do I live the rest of my life without my beautiful Son. I am bereft and feel the the Lord has abandoned me. My heart is so heavy with grief. Lord please help me to understand. I am sorely lost and do not understand why God has give me this unbareable burden to deal with.

Lately, I have found myself praying for MY will and not HIS. I was getting confused when I wasn't getting what I wanted. I really thought that what I wanted was in HIS will. Well, I have stopped focusing on what I want and I started focusing on God. I have started reading the bible everyday again and now I set time aside everyday to read the bible to my 2 kids who are 6 and 3 years old. Since I have turned my focus on God, everything seems to be falling into place. I still haven't exactly gotten exactly what I want, but I have found myself to be more at peace and a lot happier knowing that God's will is being done. Gypsy mama, Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. It gives me a lot of hope to know that I am on the right track and if I just keep looking up to God, he will continue to provide, even if it's not what we want, it truly IS what we want in the long run.... HIS will to be done in our life. Dianne G, I completely understand where you are coming from. Lately, I have found myself praying for MY will and not HIS.

I am sure the Lord is good. It is the guilt feeling that I need to cope with. Thanks for reminding me to cry and to pray and not to lose faith. I have friends telling me the same thing. I know I have to accept His Wisdom and Sovereignty. In all this I am reminded to be responsible for my time. I still have 3 brothers to be prayed for and to share the Good News to them. Please remember me in your prayer as I need to focus and keep my promise whilst the time is still available. Thanks again. God bless you both. Hi Cathy and Donna,

I had just finished writing in my journal this morning about accepting a no from God and accepting His plan over mine. Thank you for sharing your journey and how God does work everything out for our good and His glory. Thank you for being honest about how painful it can be to face disappointment and not getting the desire of your heart. It all comes down to God's promises to see us through to the end and to complete the work He has begun in us. The title of your article caught my eye.
