Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:5
Sometimes it is hard to accept the fact that our heavenly Father knows what is best for us. We want to be in charge of our lives. Many years ago, I suffered a miscarriage after praying for another child for about five years. While I was waiting to have surgery, one thought kept going through my mind, “Well He knows what best to grant me.” Later I found comfort in the whole hymn verse, “Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I commit to Him my way” (LSB #732). God granted me a little girl one and a half years later. Recently, my husband of 59 years died, and once again, this verse brought me much needed comfort. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I was able to accept that it was Len’s time to die and that God still has plans for me on earth.
