Ever since you gave your life to Jesus, He has taken care of you and your spiritual life, treating you as a child of God.

1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Even though God is taking care of you, this does not mean that He will do everything you want or do everything the way you think it should be.

The fact that you have given your life to Jesus presupposes that you accept Jesus' authority over your life and everything you have.

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU IS DETERMINED OR ALLOWED BY THE LORD JESUS.

And if Jesus is the ultimate authority in your life, we cannot imagine that something that is not for your good will happen.

Paul said that IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WE SHOULD GIVE THANKS, that is, in everything we should thank God.

Therefore, even in struggles or difficult situations, WE MUST NOT MURMUR OR COMPLAIN, but rather we must thank God, because HE WILL NOT ABANDON US AND WILL GIVE US VICTORY AT THE RIGHT TIME.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Ephesians 5:20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Everything that God allows to happen in our lives HAS A PURPOSE and if He is the highest authority in your life, everything that happens to you will always serve for your edification and spiritual growth.

Therefore, do not murmur or complain about your struggles, because despite the difficulties you face, God controls all things.

Nothing that happens in your life does not have God's permission and He will certainly know the right time to deliver your victory, because HE DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES!

So, thank God, because no matter how intense your struggles are, God will always give you victory.

Your blessing will come WHEN GOD'S PURPOSES ARE FULFILLED.

So, EXAMINE YOURSELF, as Jesus commanded, and evaluate whether God's purposes for your life, at this moment, are not that THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGE IN YOUR ATTITUDES, YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR WORDS.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
