The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Psalm 28:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
"His will be done," we hear it said, but sometimes those may seem like harsh words to us. What we were hoping might happen isn't always the way things turn out. Something's out of alignment and it's not God.
God has a plan--a plan for you, your family, and the whole world. Someday we'll understand in full what the extent of the plan is, but for now we need to keep listening, waiting and doing whatever else it takes to get on board with God.
God's plan is a perfect one. Are you in sync with God?
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Ephesians 1:4-10

Trying my best to follow His plan. Sometimes it's a bit of trial and error on my part, but eventually God gets me nudged in the right direction. :)
