Comments on: Your Life Experiences: A Preparatory Part of Your Ministry Profile http://mintools.com/blog/life-experiences-prepare.htm equipping believers for ministry Sun, 20 May 2012 19:26:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: MinTools http://mintools.com/blog/life-experiences-prepare.htm/comment-page-1#comment-1143 MinTools Sun, 11 Jul 2010 02:43:46 +0000 http://mintools.com/blog/?p=1440#comment-1143 I am glad you are looking to God to try to understand life, Jacquline. He certainly has the power to help us through the ups and downs. And, He has reasons for allowing different things to happen to us. Though He has all power, He does not always use it to change our circumstances. But, He will give us peace as we walk through both the ups and down. <span class="class2">Isaiah 26:3</span> says, "You <em>(God)</em> will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." <span class="class2">Though He has purpose in all He does, He does not always tell us why things happen the way they do. He does not always tell how all these things fit together and how they will work together for the good to those who love Him as promised in Romans 8:28. Sometimes no matter how or how often we pray, we will not get all the answers. These are the times we need to simply trust the heart of God that He truly does have our good at heart. In Jeremiah 29:11 God told the Israelites, "For I know the plans I have for you, ... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." That is His heart for us as well.</span> I am glad you are looking to God to try to understand life, Jacquline. He certainly has the power to help us through the ups and downs.

I pray to God. But I don't think I'm praying the right pray when I pray at night, or morning. Thanks. I am trying to understand some of life’s ups and downs. I pray to God.
