We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?  Romans 8:28-39   Sometimes I have to remind myself that there are battles that have already been won on my behalf; that my focus according to God’s word is often at odds with the world and that what presents itself as wilderness to me, God is able to see through. Thank you Lord God. Teach me to trust and guide me along the way you have already prepared. For I know that no matter what, I am never separated from your Love.
