Do Not Pass Me By

July 31, 2020

The Lord does not always answer our prayers in the way we may hope. But that does not mean he has passed us by. When he says “no,” we can trust that he is working for our good and using our circumstances to stretch our hope and increase our dependency on him. Take heart and have courage! Jesus will not pass you by.
