“Your exposure to the variegated difficulties of life in this fallen world, with all of its delusions and temptations, is not in the way of God’s plan; it is his plan. He—right here, right now—has you exactly where he wants you to be. He knows exactly what you’re facing. He isn’t trying to cope with or cover up a grand divine mistake. He isn’t wringing his hands in celestial anxiety. He has carefully and wisely chosen you to live right where you live, knowing full well what you will face. All this is done with divine knowledge and purpose.”

The one to whom we pray knows the past, the present, and the future, and nothing is allowed to happen without His knowledge and permission. Thus we may have firm confidence in God. He is Sovereign. The prayers you will pray today, God will hear while you are yet speaking. And even more: before you call on Him, the answer is on its way! Your thoughts of God are too human. MARTIN LUTHER”
