Accepting God's plan

In the past couple of years I've gone through the toughest times in my life. Mostly just this past year. Several people that i knew or knew who they were died. I lost many good friends. Friends that i was really close to changed from being on fire for God, just diminished. Tough things going on with my family members. Just so many things that have been so trying in my life. There's really not words that can describe what I've felt. In hard times i would feel sorry for myself. Just start thinking, "this trial is so hard. I'm never going to get through it. Nobody can help me. Nobody cares." I would just let these thoughts swallow me up and make me feel so bad for myself.
-But one day i heard a sermon. It was on just accepting God's plan for me. the way it is. Because if I don't accept his will for my life and I go a totally different way, or just feel sorry for myself i could miss a very important opportunity. If i took the different way I could get into wrong relationships, become just basically dead for God, and It could end up in something very bad. If i chose to just feel sorry for myself the whole time I could become bitter. I could ignore my friends, and if they were going through a time when they really needed someone to be there I could miss that. And i wouldn't be able to lead them back to Christ. I would be so caught up in my problems that i would build up unnecessary walls in my life. Or the final option, I could choose to accept what God has planned for me.
-By accepting God's will i would grow a stronger relationship with God. And I could just learn from everything that was going on. These past years by just learning to accept God's will in my life has strengthened me so much. I realize every day how blessed I am. I look back on the times when i felt bad for myself and just think. I know so many people who have been through so much more than i have. And then i think about the many many more people that go through unimaginable loss and pain. And then i think. You know. A lot of these people are without God. They don't have someone that loves them unconditionally. They have nobody to turn to.
-I just have to keep going to God over and over and keep asking him to help me accept his plan for my life. Things seem to be easier almost when i do that. So my prayer for YOU today is that you will learn to accept God's plan for your life.

~This verse has meant so much to me this past year. Its been one of the many verses i turn to.
Romans 8:28-
And we know all things work together for good to them that love God, To them that are the called according to His purpose.

-Rich or poor, old or young, strong or week, God loves and wants the best for you. Turn to Him.

~God Bless
