Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
God says, "I know what I am thinking about you. I am thinking thoughts of peace, not evil. I am thinking about what you should expect to happen in the end. I have a goal for you to reach.
What you are going through is helping you reach that place.
Please let me be the driver in your journey. Stop grabbing the wheel and making us go the way you want to go. It only makes the ride that much longer and rougher when you do that. Yes, you may not understand the path that I am taking you, but remember...you don't see the big picture like I do. You don't see the detour or hazards on the path you want to take.
Trust me, I am taking you the best direction towards meeting your goal."
