Whoever puts his trust in God, He will suffice him. Indeed God carries through His command. (Qur’an, 65:3).

You may have dreams that you believe for, and situations you want to see turn around; but too often you may put Almighty God in a box and tell him how to do it, when to do it and who to use to do it. The only problem is that God’s ways are not your ways. God does not always do things the logical way. God uses unorthodox methods. He is unconventional.

You have to stay open. Let God out of your box. You may only see one way that it could happen. It may be just one obvious door. However, God closed that door on purpose because He has something much better in front of you. Just because it is the logical way, does not mean that it is God’s way. Just because it happened that way before, does not mean it is going to happen that way next time. Some times what you want or the way you want is not good for you.

Perhaps you may hate something while it is good for you, and perhaps you may love something while it is bad for you; God knows while you do not know. (Qur’an, 2:216).

If you are narrow minded you may miss God’s best. Your attitude should be: “God I am letting you out of my box. You can do anything in my life. My lord, I trust you to do it your way.” know that:

Whoever puts his trust in God, He will suffice him. Indeed God carries through His command. (Qur’an, 65:3).

Trust Almighty God and be interested in pleasing God than you are pleasing people. There will always be people that try to squeeze you into their mold and tell: “you are not enough of this, or not enough of that.” Let it go in one ear and out the other. You are not who people say you are. You are who God says you are.

Say, “God!” Then leave them to play around in their impious gossip. (Qur’an, 6:91).

Almighty God is god; is a good god; is a gracious god, and is a powerful god. He can do whatever He wants. God can use the enemy to take care of his servant. He saved Moses with his enemy, pharaoh.

The family of Pharaoh picked him up, so he would be an enemy to them and a source of sadness. Certainly, Pharaoh and haman and their troops were doing wrong. Pharaoh's wife said, “A pleasure to my eye and yours, so do not kill him, perhaps he will benefit us or we may take him as a son!” while they did not notice, (that he will be pharaoh's enemy). (Qur’an, 28:8-9).

Moreover, God saved his prophet, Muhammad with a spider. So just say, “God I trust you. You know what is best for me, what I need. When I need and who I need.”

Maybe God loves you too much to answer that prayer. Maybe God has given you something better, but because you are so sit in seeing it happen in your way, you do not recognize it right now.

Maybe you dislike something while God invests it with an abundant good. (Qur’an, 4:19).

God knows what he is doing. He can see the big picture for your life. If you are only going to be happy if God does it your way, you are not trusting. You have to come to the place where if it does not work out the way you had it planned, you are still in peace. God still on the throne and he will still get you where you are supposed to be.

Are you open God to use a new method to bring your dreams to pass? Say, “O my Lord, I know your ways are better than my ways. You know what I can do and you know what I cannot do. I may not feel qualified but when you breathed your life into me, I know you equipped me, empowered me. I may feel weak but with you I know I am strong.”

God’s plan for your life will not always be logical or reasonable, or what you had planned but if you will stay open, it will be much bigger, than you ever even imagined. He is going to open doors for you that no man can shut. You have not touched the surface of what God has in store. However, here is the key; it is not going to happen by traditional means. His plan for you is always good but it may be different from your own plan.

He is the potter you are the clay. You should pray, believe and stand in faith, but in the end you have to be mature enough to accept what God has destined for your life; not defeat, not mediocrity. Stay open.

Do not envy for what God Has favored some of you over the others. …. Ask God from His favor, God is knowledgeable over all things. (Qur’an, 4:32).

Do not be like children of Israel who said,

“O Moses, we will not be patient to one type of food, so call for us your Lord that He may bring forth what the earth grows of its beans, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.” He said, “Would you trade that which is lowly with that which is good? Descend to Egypt, you will have in it what you have asked for.” (Qur’an, 2:61).

You should say in this way: “God this is what I want, but my Lord you know what is best for me.

My Lord! I seek Your protection lest I should ask You something of which I have no knowledge. If You do not forgive me and have mercy upon me I shall be among the losers. (Qur’an, 11:46-47).

O, God I trust you. I am still going to be happy.” You have to ask in right way.

Do not ask about things, which, if they are disclosed to you, will upset you. (Qur’an, 5:101).

I can promise you that God will answer you and God’s way will always be the best way. You may not understand it. It may not seem fair but Almighty God knows what he is doing. He promised us,

“I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me.” (Qur’an, 2:186).

He is who answers the distressed when he calls Him, and He removes the ill. (Qur’an, 27:62).

Just be patient and trust in God. When you are trusting God, to do it his way there is a rest. You are not struggling, fighting and upset. You are at peace. You know God’s way is the best way so you can relax and enjoy your life while God is in the process of bringing those promises to pass. So

why should we not put our trust in God, seeing that He has guided us in our ways? … In God let all the trusting, put their trust. (Qur’an, 14:12).

Say, “O My lord, I trust you to do your way. I believe that:

Whoever puts his trust in God, He will suffice him. Indeed God carries through His command. (Qur’an, 65:3).
