times when we don’t understand why such things happen to us. But this verse tells us of God’s promise that He will be there for us and He will not forsake us. This verse tells us of God’s purpose for our lives. God’s motive for us is full of thoughts of peace, and not of evil. God might have a reason for everything that happens in our lives even when it looks like there isn’t. We just have to trust Him, his thoughts, and his promise.
