"A belief in the sovereignty of God means that
whether we understand what is happening or not,
whether God seems silent or not,
whether evil seems to be winning over good or not,
we gather up our faith and say to God, 'I love you. I trust you. This hurts me, but I know that you know the end from the beginning and have my good at heart, so I say Yes! to you and No! to trying to grab control and fix everything myself.'"

I think "sovereignty" is one of those giant religious words that's hard to understand. But Sheila does a great job.
God is in control and I am not.
AND . . . He is a good God.
Trusting Your Love, God
