Thinking 🤔 I like believing in this...it takes great weight off of me

[Starrlight]

What if God appeared and promises everything that happens to you from this moment forward will be of the greatest benefit to you and will bring you the utmost good fortune. Even though what happens will sometimes appear unfortunate or hurtful, in the end, your life will be wonderfully blessed and hugely benefited by whatever happens.

-from the book Zen And the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss

God has already promised that. He tells us he has plans to prosper us , not to hurt us , I can't remember the passage.

It's Jeremiah 29:11,12 .....In plain English,

For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ declares Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope. And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

That is exactly what God promised! You just have to trust in Him and Pray that His Will Be Done, and when times get rough know that there is a reason.

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Yeah thank you for your response. I used to believe that and tried to do His Will and prayed a lot and asked for guidance a lot then something happened and I stopped it a ask, stopped l believing but now I’m becoming more spiritual again.

He is sending out friend requests right now all over the world, hopefully they will accept.! God is Good.! 😊🙏

I agree

I have always believed everything happens for a reason. Some of the most difficult times in my life have helped me comfort others in a unique way. I also believe material things aren't what makes you rich or happy. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps I'm not as far off base as people like to point out I am.

If that's the case i will gladly suffer from this anxiety. I thought about that saying awhile ago .
