I am counting on God!

Wow, BSF was amazing today. God speaks right through the speaker each Wed morning right to my heart. That is because The Truth is spoken there! The truth is that we as Christians have to go through suffering as well as all the good things that the Lord blesses us with. It is in the suffering that he wants us to draw nearer to him. He doesn't want you to grumble and complain but to trust in Him that you are in that situation to grow, to be disciplined, to love Him more.
We are so desperate to know the how and why's of our sufferings. I am not talking of the daily sufferings but the times when you don't know where to turn, why God would put you in this situation, and the times you just don't know if you can bear one more day of your situation. WE want to know WHY..WHY...WHY.. We want to search scriptures of how to exactly get healing, pray the right prayer. We want the mechanics... a method...not WHO. I want to focus on the who no matter the situation I am going through. I am going to stop complaining, and get on my knees and give Him thanks for my sufferings and know that it is a privledge to be going through them. Through them, he gives me endurance. Suffering is necessary to strengthen my dependance on God himself. I want to worship God for who he is and not for what he can do in my life.
