Thankful for God’s Promise – Ann Wilkie
Romans 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
A few years ago, my family went through a tough time while my husband was deployed. My middle child was struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, and depression that put her in the hospital for two weeks. As a parent, you want your child to be healthy and happy, and when they hurt you hurt.
Having struggled with anxiety and depression myself, I clung to Romans 8:28 as a promise from God. As a believer, I knew God was in control and our struggles would not be wasted. He used our struggles to bring us closer to Him and turn our test into a testimony to share with others.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for using our struggles to share with others and glorify you. We love you. Amen.
