We are in His hands

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Why is it so hard to remember that we are always in His hands, no matter the circumstances? With Christmas fast approaching, having truly hoped to have the children home this month, so many dreams have been put on hold. We did not decorate the house at all...in fact, we haven't since beginning this adoption journey. I remember putting the Christmas things away in 2008 hoping to decorate the next time for our own children. And we wait...

God is working for our good in all of our circumstances. He always loves, always protects, always guides and always provides. He is always faithful and we can trust His master plan, but the Bible also says, in Romans 8:26 & 27...
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
