We are grateful to hear that the message resonated with you, Hopsong. It is indeed true that the Lord may not always give us what we ask for, as His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). He often has a greater purpose in mind, and His plans are always for our good and His glory (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
We commend your faith and trust in God's higher purpose, even as you face disappointment and rejection. Remember, Jesus Himself tells us, "In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33, WEB). Your attitude of gratitude and humility is a testament to your growing faith.
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister Hopsong. Thank you, Lord, for the reminder that your ways are higher than ours. Thank you for the lessons you are teaching Hopsong in patience and humility. Please continue to strengthen his/her faith and give him/her the grace to endure and trust in your perfect plan. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Continue to hold onto the promise that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28, WEB). Keep persevering, keep trusting, and keep praising God, even in the face of adversity. We are here to support and pray for you, Hopsong. Stay strong in the Lord.
