Comments on: Trusting God During Times of Broken Expectation http://thepracticaldisciple.com/2009/07/trusting-god-during-times-of-broken-expectation.html The discipleship guide to christian spiritual growth Fri, 20 Apr 2012 23:13:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Laurie http://thepracticaldisciple.com/2009/07/trusting-god-during-times-of-broken-expectation.html/comment-page-1#comment-653 Laurie Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:47:51 +0000 http://thepracticaldisciple.com/?p=435#comment-653 I really struggled with trusting God. I was in a bad place with my son and hub and I felt like I was going to end up being crushed by God for a bigger purpose. I was angry at Romans 8:28 and thought it wasn't a promise for me. Or if it was, the "good" that God would work from all the pain would end up consuming me or my family. I what if'd myself to death wondering if things would be different if I had only....... But then God showed me he is trustworthy. He showed up in several ways that made me realize that he was working but at his time and in his way. It has been 2 years since then and God kept his word. I learned he is incredibly trustworthy and has ways to work things out that I couldn't imagine. Now instead of fighting with Romans 8:28, I lean on it. I liked your video. It was a great use of your time. Thanks. I really struggled with trusting God.

You know the really great thing is, when you get to a place of trusting in that manner, you just are not disconcerted anymore. Life that way is so much more peaceful. I must admit though that it is a lesson I am hit or miss on putting into practice. Blessings to you as well. Thanks Sallie for commenting.

If we are open to His timing instead of always being on our schedules no matter how disconcerting it might be.
