Whatever God does, rest assured, He’s already purposed it from the beginning.  Did you get a hold of that?  You don’t pray to change His mind, or you don’t pray to a reluctant God in order to persuade Him, as if He, by your much speaking, is going to give into your demands, like we do to our children sometimes.  No, that’s not the way God does it.  Whatever God does, you can rest assured He’s already purposed to do it from the beginning.  And that’s a comfort, I’ll tell you.
