“God does watch over us and does notice us, but it usually through someone else that he meets our needs.”

“God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs.”

“God does love us and He watches over us nbut it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore it is vital that we serve one another.”

“When we look to God as provider, we are surrendering our independence and trusting someone else to meet our needs, over which we have no control. Letting go of our ‘dependence on independence’ and letting someone else take control goes against natural human instinct. We need to fight the urge to take over and just let God be God, because He can provide for us better than we can.”

“God does not take away trials or carry us over them, but strengthens us through them.”

“Never does our good God leave us save to hold us better; never does He let go of us save to keep us better; never does He wrestle with us save to give Himself up to us and to bless us.”
