When things are going well for you, be glad. Ecc 7:14

Accept His Will

Just like children we all desire only sweet and pleasant things. But as we grow mature we should change our expectations and attitudes toward life. We may not understand the reason for the things that are happening in our lives, but we should trust that God will provide the support we need all through our lives. Keeping in mind the words of the philosopher should enable us to be prepared to accept the will of God: “When things are going well for you, be glad, and when trouble comes, just remember: God sends both happiness and trouble; you never know what is going to happen next” (Ecc 7:14). May we sincerely pray and ask God to release us from the troubles that surround us and get relief and peace.

 

Abba, thank You for instructing us to accept Your Will. Let Your Spirit help us pray that we may receive the necessary divine assistance, in Jesus’ Most Powerful Name, Amen.
