Devotional

Life has been long without my hubby lately and training up a toddler on my own yet I have found much comfort in devotional words from Jesus Calling 365-day journaling. Let me share yesterdays insert.
"Make friends with the problems in your life. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that I am sovereign over everything. I cant fit everything into a pattern for goodm but only to the extent that you trust Me. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece I created you to be. The very same problem can  become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust Me or defy Me.
The best way to befriend your problems is to thank Me for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to Me, enabling Me to embrace them in My loving Presence. I will not necessarily remove your problems, but My wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.
Romans 8:28: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24
I absolutely needed this post this week! Thank You God for speaking words.
