Another good book (Christian fiction) along those lines is "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti.

It demonstrates how angels and demons react when we pray - and don't.

I haven't read that in a while - gotta go find it!

I have found that when the bad times are feeling really really bad is when I'm not trusting God. I am placing my trust in myself and thinking that I have to fix the problem. That gives way to thinking that 'all is lost' because I know that I'm not equipped to make everything right.

When I remember to put my trust in Him, the horror evaporates. I know that whatever the circumstance, He is bigger and stronger and He is the miracle worker. I am in His hands. Then I remember to let Him have control.

That's when I can be thankful for the lessons I'm learning from the trial and incredbly thankful that God is in control.

Lynne, I have also found that when my life is not going right it is because I have not included God in each day of my life. Everything just goes so much smoother when I keep God close to me, praising his gifts and blessings. He is the director of my life and when I remember that, things just fall in place.

God bless you! smile

Every time something bad happens I still find something to thank my Heavenly Father for - like "Thank you, Lord, for giving me the strength to endure/overcome."

I often think of the words of a song I heard only once in a church, sung by a group of women who had amazingly beautiful, strong voices. The only words I remember are: "Sanctified wholly, so I might be, a vessel of honor for Thee." I can still hear their voices when I say those words and it uplifts me.

Today I am thankful that God has brought together a good man, my daughter and grandson to become a family. I see them grow each day towards that which will bring them together in love and joy and faith in God. My grandson finally has a father-figure in his life after 12 years. Thank you, Heavenly Father.
