The answer to this question may seem complex to the searching heart, but it is stirringly simple to the one who has discovered the assurance of walking with God.

God’s will for each person is a happy, healthy, abundant life—a life rich with blessings—and God’s blessings are unlimited. Even when you have an unhappy experience, you can rest in the knowledge that God’s will for you is happiness and well-being. Through every experience in your life, you grow spiritually, and your life is enriched by your awareness of God’s presence in every circumstance.

If there are personal problems and difficult decisions to make, it is encouraging and comforting to know that God is present within each person and every situation. God understands your deepest needs and desires and those of everyone affected by any decision you make or action you take. Regardless of how a situation may seem, you can place your trust in God’s guidance. You may not always know in what way your help will come or how it will reach you, but you can be sure that, through prayer, God’s help and guidance will come to you.

in peace because they trust in you.”
