The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. May the name of the Lord be praised.
Job 1:21

One's faith can dissipate in times of calamity - but Gods plan is for our faith to develop and strengthen because His hand is at work for the good of those who love Him. We are to praise God - even when we feel that there is nothing to praise about.

God wants me to trust Him, even as it seems everything has been pulled out from underneath me. He is helping me to be strong and developing my faith.

O Lord, as hard as my circumstance has been, You are there and I know that. Thank You, and I praise. It is easier with You, but so very hard. Stay with me... I need You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
