When you are convinced that everything that happens is the will of God, what is there to do but wait until God has mercy?

About This Quote

There are many people who believe that everything that happens is God’s will. When this happens, there is nothing much to do but wait for God’s mercy. For one thing, when things are going well, there is no need to complain about them. They are the will of God.

However, when the things are not going well, you will find yourself complaining about them. You will find yourself thinking that something should be done about it. You will find yourself trying to find a reason why things turn out this way and why God has chosen not to help you in these trying times.
