God is a father to us. He created us. He created the world. He knows what's best for us.

When things don't go our way, sometimes we wonder, why God, why does it happen. Is it me? Was it because I sinned?

Sometimes it is because we sinned and God wants us to learn what's right. Sometimes things happen to test our faith, like how Job's faith was tested. But no matter what, it is always for the good of us.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

But God is God, He isn't Santa Claus. Sometimes, instead of praying for things which we want, we should be praying for what's good for us (: Because when God doesn't give us what we want, instead of praying, I KNOW HE WILL I KNOW HE WILL BECAUSE I DESERVE IT, why not pray for the courage and strength to accept what is not given and make the best out of it? Because He knows best, not us (:

God may be our father, and like most fathers, He doesn't give us whatever we want, He doesn't spoil us, but whatever He does shapes our characters to make us the best person we can possibly be (:
