Often we complain about the problems that occur in our lives. We praise God for the good things that He allows and we complain and wonder why when He doesn't come to our rescue when we think he should . His word tells us not to get weary in well doing . ( Gal. 6:9) It also let's us know that we should be content in whatever state we are in . ( Phil.4:11)
For some of our problems are for our for correction (Prov. 3:11,12) and some of our problems are to keep us close to God remember Paul , and the thorn in his flesh (2 Cor. 12:7-10)
We should thank God for the storms in our lives . Without the storms we wouldn't know that God is our refuge and strength (Psalm46:1) or that God is a strong tower (Prov. 18:10)
Without sickness we wouldn't know that God can heal because by His stripes we are healed (1 Pet. 2:24)
When our finances are low we know that God is our provider read 2 kings ch. 4 , Luke 5:4-10
When the winds blow in our lives we should remember that even the wind obeyed His voice . read Mark 4:39 , where God said "peace be still" .
So when we feel broken by life's circumstances we should remember that God is the potter and that we are the clay . God is able to mold us if we allow Him too . Jer. 18:1-6
