"You are the great sovereign King. There is none like you, majestic
in holiness, perfect in knowledge and power, awesome in glorious
splendor. There be nothin' outside of
your knowledge or control. There be nothin' that causes you surprise or
alarm. We, however, are surprised by things and alarmed by events. We
are tossed to and fro on the winds of circumstance. We are tossed
until we find our rest in you. We are blown about until you shelter us
in the hollow of your hand. There and there alone we find the sweet
peace and rest. There and there alone we find that nothin' may move us,
nothin' will alarm us, and nothin' can pry us from your grasp. Bring about great glory for your Name. And give us wisdom to know how to carry on. This I pray in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."

And I pray that we all may understand how loving and majestic and
sovereign and mighty and completely in control this God is. As C. H.
Spurgeon said:
Remember this, had any other condition been better
for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you
there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances, and if
you had the choosing of your lot, you would soon cry, "Lord, choose my
inheritance for me, for by my self-will I am pierced through with many
sorrows."
