I don’t always know God’s plan or His reasons. Though I know that He is faithful, and I can find peace in that. I can choose to trust Him, in my I don’t know why’s. When my husband and I lost our unborn baby this past year, it was devastating. Then we were told it was unsafe for me to become pregnant again, as the probability of my surviving pregnancy/childbirth were very low. As we watched around us people getting pregnant, we wondered why we couldn’t be. Although happy for others, it was hard. It was also very hard when around us people were choosing abortions. We are not sure why God told us no to having children together. I do not know if we will ever learn why. Although, I know God knows things that I do not and I know that His plans are for my good, our good. I find my peace in God’s love and my hope in His plans. Friend, sometimes we get exactly what we prayed for. Other times, God’s plans look different than our own. Though we can have assurance that in our question of why’s, He has the answers and they are always for our good. In Him is where I can find my peace.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
