Nothing is as it seems

Nothing is as it seems.
You cannot know God’s plan.
Even when nothing makes sense.
Give thanks.

It is not easy.
Yet you are asked to give thanks.
You cannot breathe.
You feel like drowning.

How do you give thanks?
When there’s no lifeline.
Life has gone out of control.
All you see is a nightmare.

It seems easy for others
to tell you to give thanks.
Even when you are at your lowest,
they tell you to give thanks.

Even when you cannot.
You must trust God.
Nothing is as it seems.
Give thanks.
