Your words are the absolute truth and a very timely reminder and encouragement for everyone. Amen.
We, who believe, trust and hand our lives over to God surely have those words deeply embedded in mind body and soul, we must never ever forget those sentiments. We absolutely hand our lives over to God, entrusting Him absolutely whatever the circumstances we come across in our daily journey through life.
We, who welcome, trust, and invite God into our life, accept His Will, we recognize all events from God are all for own personal advancement and gain through our daily Christan progress. Everything in life we do or experience is for that purpose. We all would or should not have it any other way.
Jesus was the Personification, the Master, the Greatest Teacher, the Purest Golden Example of how we should react\act in any given circumstance we face in life.
Incidentally, I spent many months in prayer with God asking if I actually
should raise the very subject of Unanswered Prayers.
Would God actually approve or endorse me raising this subject or make it abundantly clear I should do no such thing?
In the end, I felt confident enough to raise the subject in a Christian Forum.
The words I had outlined in my mind came to the fore as I began typing.
Incidentally, the words that came to mind and presented are not mine. However, I'm very aware of where they did come from.
You know, God in his wisdom did not bless me with anything near a good intelligent brain causing me to struggle through school life. I had a dreadfully hard school life.
I did not achieve the status to enter, what we call High School\SeniorSchool. It was the lower Junior School for me. At the age of finally leaving school, I came away without one single degree!
My dear wife can run circles round as far as that's concerned. I'm aware with no small certainty, God brought us together.
Other than her reading this when completed she had no input on this subject. Don't want anyone thinking her intelligence influenced mine.
Nah, I would state if she had an influence on anything I compose without any concern at all.
What I can say is she's in total agreement with the sentiments regarding this subject.
Anyway, when "Unanswered Prayer Request" was finally complete, I sought His guidance once more, this time regarding where I should actually post it, which Forum should I use.
I eventually did come across a website I reckoned would do nicely. I prayed again, signed up and a few days later went through the procedure of posting the subject but, the post simply disappeared as soon as I posted. I tried again, the same thing happened, I attempted a third time, the same thing happened, I took the hint and left.
I came across yet another encouraging web site. I prayed once more, signed up successfully but could not for the life of me log in later that same day or the following day. Once again I took the hint and left.
Those are only two examples where things went a bit askew, I began to fear I'd completely misunderstood God.
I prayed once more, had I really got things so wrong?
However, on the third day, I came across
www.christian.com, I prayed, if my attempt to post the subject fails this time, it would clearly indicate it was not to be. It should not see the light of day. I accepted that without hesitation.
Jumping forward, I began to have a niggling doubt regarding one particular bold comment I made in reply to FCJ.
I said, "not one single person can guarantee how they would react in any given situation...however, I absolutely still stand by that statement.

The absolute truth indeed, Amen. I fully and wholeheartedly endorse\believe your profound statement. Each and every believer accepting God into their mind, body, and soul surely will endorse it also, or "should" endorse it, File Catcher Jim. Correct.
I still stand by my own comment, though.
My post was gleaned from personal experience\s. (ordinary church members up to the higher echelons)
I've heard and witnessed some dear folks actions\reaction\words when suddenly faced with an incident requiring immediate attention. Those dear folks could never ever have predicted or had any thought in mind prior to their "actual action\reaction".
It could, of course, be said; Well it's clearly obvious they never truly had God and Christ embedded deeply within them in the first, but who am I to be so righteous or judgemental.
On the other hand, as with all believers, we have been given the priceless and golden honour of praying and or fasting for them and the situation\trial they are faced with.
"Fasting" now there's a subject for consideration. LOL
Oh......
I'm still finding my way around the various boards and learning what goes where.
I find forums a completely different world to straightforward websites.......
Sooo, without the slightest hint of embarrassment (not) would the two lovely members who
sent me a PM each, contact me again so I can reply and the means of replying.
Oh (2).....
I haven't forgotten to explain my comment regarding "going off target" in Unanswered Prayer Requests.
I must offer an explanation, but later.

Re-"Folks, I'm putting a halt to this thread"
Sorry to disappoint everyone
I've had a change of thought.
Shalom.
