Thank God. Why God?

I often find myself asking God so many why questions.  Why did I have to break up with my boyfriend?  Why can't I raise all of my support?  Why do I have to be gone when a lot of great things will be happening to my friends this year?  Why can't I just get a job here?  Today I was reading my devotion that I read every morning and today was God speaking directly to me, it came from Sara Young's Jesus Calling focusing on Psalm 116:17 and Philippians 4:4-6


Thank Me for the very things that are troubling you.  You are on the brink of rebellion, precariously close to shaking your fist at me.  You are tempted to indulge in just a little complaining about My treatment of you.  But once you step over that line, torrents of rage and self-pity can sweet you away.  The best protection against this indulgence is thanksgiving.  It is impossible to thank Me and curse Me at the same time. My thankfulness can and will make a difference in my heart.


Wow!! How much do I need to reverse my thinking?!  I should be thanking God for allowing wonderful parents and friends and family supporting me!  I have the honor to help God further the kingdom because we all know that He can do it with out us;  however he uses weak, sinners like you and me to help me!  What a blessing.
 

"Don't worry about anything.  Instead pray about everything.  Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for his answers". Phil 4:6.  I have been praying to move to Haiti for as long as I can remember.  Instead of focusing on what I will be missing here at home in the States,  I need to be thanking God for allowing this dream to become reality =)
