Don't go judging the Almighty by your own understanding…
““Don't go judging the Almighty by your own understanding. We're rarely given eyes to see the whole of what He's doing in our lives or through us. That's why we're called to walk by faith, not by sight.' 'Jeremiah, I've tried,' she protested. 'All I do is stumble about, making everything worse. I see no way through this - ' He held up a hand, stopping her. 'I've been where you are. I've felt what you're feeling. But you must surrender your will and your wisdom to the Almighty, give it over to Him once and for all and stop blindly groping about for what to do next. Why not try doing nothing ?' She looked at him uncomprehendingly. 'I don't think you grasp what it means to wait on the Lord,' he said. 'To let Him come to your rescue. To completely, utterly trust.””
