At times, does it seem like God's plans don't make sense to you?

Do you ever find yourself confused by the things God is or is not doing in your life? Have you ever struggled with lacking patience or lacking trust in God? Have you found yourself getting discouraged as situations and circumstances in your life do not seem to change?

In this message, taken from Genesis 41, entitled Sovereign Over Us, we find help and hope for times of significant life challenges and struggles.

I pray the truths found in this passage, will bless you.
