hello people !!

recently, the anniversary of 9/11 came up and it made me wonder, why does stuff like this happen?

Ok specifically, lets talk about 9/11. When I was thinking about it, people from america in that time turned to God. After awhile Satan put doubt into their minds and they most likely began to think, Why did God allow this to happen?

Unfortunately bad things do happen. But it's not God doing it ; it's Satan. God is not evil, Satan is. God is love, patience, and kindness. He isn't making bad things happen! Sin makes it happen, and that's just life. We just can't give Satan the satisfactory of letting deaths and trageties pull us away from Him.

Recently there has been a death in my family and it made me question why this was happening. The thing is, God only allows us to have hardships to turn to him. We all drift away from God so it is understandable if we need something to draw us closer to him.

And you know what? After I came to my senses and trusted in God's plan, I found comfort within him. We all should, but not just when something bad happens!! It should be all the time!!

Quotes:

" Be still and know that I am God.."

" My comfort, my shelter, Lord there is none like you. All of my praise, all I my days never cease to worship you. "

Song :

The song that gives me comfort is

" It is Well by Bethel "

and another that ties in with this message is :

" Blessings by Laura Story "

Main Points :

• Tragedies happen because of sin not God !

• God is love not evil. Satan is evil.

• God only gives the hardest battles to his strongest warriors.

• Sometimes bad things are a way of God's cry for you to draw closer to him.

--------------

Closing Prayer :

Dear God,

Sometimes doubt fills my mind when bad things happen. I don't mean it to, it just happens. Please help me to pull through tough times and turn to you. I know that you give the hardest battles to those who are the strongest warriors. Sometimes I doubt that  I am good enough to be your daughter/son. Even though I remind myself I am, it's hard to feel worthy. Please God help the doubt fall away and fully remain confident and help me to TRUST IN YOU.

In your most holy name, Amen.
