Episode Notes:

• A question most of us have asked is "If God is in control, then how can he be good during traumatic circumstances?"
• David in the bible teaches to wrestle with God- because He can handle our emotions! 
• "Even if I don't understand, will I still trust God?"

Proverbs 21:30- God is ALWAYS in control!
Lamentations 3:37

• God's sovereignty and His goodness are always in harmony with each other! He never pursues His glory and the expense of His goodness. 
• God doesn't just create something and walk away- He sustains all things! 
• Our confidence in God's sovereignty is what enables us to trust Him in the midst of any circumstances- His way is perfect. (Psalm 18:30)
• "Trusting God isn't a matter of my feelings, but a matter of my will!"

Psalm 118:6

Satan always works to get us to question God's goodness. He wants to convince us that God is either in control OR that He is good. But the truth is that He is both! And although we might not get answers to ALL of our questions, we can trust in God's sovereignty and goodness. 

• Psalm 32:10
• 1 John 4:8
• 2 Timothy 2:13
• Isaiah 49:16

God is doing everything in His all-encompassing power to bring you good! This isn't the prosperity gospel, it's the loving heart of a father to His precious daughter.

"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:17-18
