If God is sovereign, then what happens to me, also happens for me.

Life has a way of bringing challenging circumstances to us. We must not play the victim and succumb to self pity. Oswald Chambers warns us, “Self pity is of the devil; if I go off on that line I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. I have ‘a world within the world’ in which I live, and God will never be able to get me outside it because I am afraid of being frost-bitten.” (My Utmost for His Highest, November 10)

You must realize that God is for you and He is allowing the circumstances in your life to conform you to His image:

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)
