We know that all things work together
for good to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
There are times in our lives and in our marriages when something happens and we don’t see how we can ever rise above it, or get through it, or get over it. At these times we must cling to God and take Him at His Word. He says that all things work out for good to those who love Him and are submitted to His purpose in their lives. But the verses before that one are talking about prayer. It seems, then, that things work out for good when we are praying. And that makes sense, doesn’t it? God works powerfully in our lives when we pray.
Whenever you are facing something insurmountable in your life—such as a financial disaster, the loss of a family member, problems with a child, serious illness, or any of the many dreadful things that can happen—invite God to do something in your situation that your mind can’t even conceive of or never thought possible. Keep praying, no matter how hopeless it seems, and don’t stop thanking God that He works out everything in your lives for good when you love and trust Him for your future.
