Everyday, With Thanksgiving

It is often difficult to praise God in the middle of hard times. When I miscarried, I had a hard time seeing God's hand. When I lost my job, I wondered what would happen next. When my nephew got cancer, I thought it was a cruel prank. The Bible reminds us that we will have troubles in this world, not might. So why are we so surprised when things don't go our way? Why do we begin to worry and doubt God? I am reminding myself today that I can not add any time to my life by worrying about the tomorrows that aren't promised to me. I will subtract time if I take this approach. I am reminding myself to give thanks to the Lord in spite of the tough fiscal times we are facing right now. God promised to supply all of our needs, and I am doing my best to trust Him to do just that. He promised that all things would ultimately work together for my good, and that's pretty amazing. Be encouraged, dear sisters.
