My God is Greater. My God is Stronger. Awesome in Power.

My God is greater than the feelings of sadness that are overwhelming me tonight. My God is stronger than the things that stand against us and those we love. Missing a wayward friend. Missing loved ones that are no longer with us. Feeling the sting of death and sin. Angry at the enemy. Received some difficult news today that increased the sorrow and frustration that was already felt.

Praying for comfort and peace. Looking to the only one that can supply them.

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.
