Why do some Christians always say God is in control and act like that means nothing bad will ever happen to them? It’s so annoying. Bad things happen to Christians sometimes. I believe in the sovereignty of God too but just because God can doesn’t always mean He will. It bothers me when people stick their head in the sand and pretend nothing bad can ever happen and expect me to do the same.

Agree, bad things do happen, but the difference is, he is with you when they do 😀

The important thing to remember is that by studying God’s word and by keeping His Word, we draw wisdom and hope to cope with whatever the situation is. It is also important to lift it all up to Him in prayers. 🙏

Preach! 🙏

Personally when I use the term “God is in control”, it’s not meant to shield my eyes from the bad that’s happening. More often than not, it’s to acknowledge that some things are beyond my control and I can only surrender everything to God and let God take over. For me, it’s meant to help me stay positive, optimistic and renews my faith.

I understand that bad things happen, they happen even to good people but through it all God remains God and I rest in his promises for a better future. Without faith and hope I would crumble - that’s just me not sure how everyone else takes it.

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?
