But why, God?

Dissension.

“If you can’t get past this, the enemy of your soul knows all he has to do is put that trouble in your path to get your focus off God.”


But which way, God?

Direction.

“You can miss God’s best if you do not learn to trust in God, to forgive, & to respond in love.”


But what does that look like, God?

Disposition.

“You begin to blossom when you say, ‘O God, give me perspective I’ve never known’.”


But what if I fail, God?

Determination.

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors.”


But how, God?

Dependence.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
