My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11. When life gets hard, when you feel alone, anytime you need a hug or encouragement; when it seems like nobody cares or listens, or like you're going to make one mistake and ruin everything, it's comforting to remember that God knows exactly what He's doing. He has a plan for your life, and He is going to use it for His glory. We may not understand why things happen to us, or why certain people come and go from our lives. Bad things happen. We may have regrets.
While it may not be very pleasant, and you just want it to end, God is using this to make you stronger. He allows things to happen to us to bring us back to Himself. Going through hard times allows you to understand other people better, and gives you an opportunity to be a testimony to everyone around you.
You may not understand why things happen when or how they do, but if you know that God will bring you through it and that He only wants you to prosper, it makes it easier to let go of your worries.
In Romans 8:18 and 28, Paul writes," I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us...and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who have been called according to His purpose."
I hope that when things get hard, that you will remember that you have an awesome God, who loves you more than anything else in the world. When people you love leave you, God never will. He always hears our prayers, and gives us exactly what we need. He knows the plans He has for us. And I know for a fact, that those plans are great. <3
