Affliction and the Sovereignty of God

The Sovereignty Prayer: I need constantly to remind myself that all things are of God. Let me not preach sovereignty and then complain of my lot in life. Let me not talk of divine purpose and then spend my days murmuring about my trials and troubles. It is totally inconsistent with faith in the sovereign Christ for me to question God's good providence. Paul called covetousness "idolatry" and said, "I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content." I pray for submission for with it comes peace and rest.
"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus cocerning you." I Thessalonians 5:18
