Don't Say God Ought To.
If in struggles we harbor the feeling that God ought to act in a certain way, we will be weakened in our trials. There are times when the heavens will be silent and can be at the most difficult times of our lives. When you educate yourself that this is to be expected, and is a likely part of our life's journey, despair and questions about God's goodness can be avoided. When you are sure that whatever happens in life will never be because God doesn't love us, then your faith becomes unshakable. This is one of those times when I feel my presentation was clumsy but I am sharing because the principles are true and worth noting. As always, our hope is that this will help you on your journey.
