About four or five years ago I was heavily into fitness. I thought that I wanted to open a gym. I didn’t want to open just any ordinary fitness centre. My idea was to make obstacle course circuits with all kinds of climbing and zip lines. There would be a monster jungle gym that could be rented out for birthdays and offer a high end daycare. I drew up impressive sketches and formulated a business plan and met with investors. I was pretty stoked but prayed earnestly for God’s will. I never found a financial partner. Fast forward to the pandemic. I would have had to shut down and probably declare bankruptcy. What an awesome Father we serve who knows what gifts to give and especially which ones not to.

Thank you for this very important reminder that God is in control always even when we don't get what we want

God protects his children, his ways are higher than ours. I was experiencing the same way as you, I was putting up a dental clinic and I can't seem to understand why everything doesn't fall into place and it keeps dragging very, very long... and then the pandemic came... I was shut down completely in the middle of construction, well, I've realized God does want what's best for us, and everything happens for a reason. If I had been done with construction and opened my clinic a little earlier I might have been exposed more with the virus that has been spreading around, and of course loose more money in the end. God is good, He knows best, we only have to trust.
