Hidden Blessings

All of us face disappointments in our life. No matter how much faith we have or how good a person you are. Sooner or later something or someone will come along and shake our faith. We need to stay on track and keep focused.
The devil tests us from time to time. The power within us is much greater than he.
I have a client who lost her job. Talk about disappointment. She was in bed for a week before she called me. When she called she was very bitter and angry. I asked her if she had been praying she said yes but she didn't think God was listening. Just because we haven't gotten any answers doesn't mean God isn't working for us. My client had more important issues she needed to focus on in her life. She had some health issues that would have gone unnoticed if she still had been working. My client was having symptoms a long time ago of fatigue and masked it by saying she was working too much. Heartburn that wouldn't go away, again she thought because of her hours at work she was eating a lot of takeout foods. During her week of sadness she felt as though she was having a hard time breathing and thought it was anxiety. I told her she needed to go that day to the E.R. to get checked out. They did tests and found that she had two leaky valves around her heart and needed surgery. She is recovering and starting to feel better than she had in a long time.
God had always been listening and working. When we go through unexpected changes there is always a hidden blessing.
You see losing her job which she thought was the worse thing in the world saved her life.
Keep praying and know that God is always listening.
