Spiritual whiplash
I heard a great term the other day called "Spiritual whiplash". This is when God doesn't fit into our box. Have you ever prayed for something that didn't happen? If it's a big deal, then sometimes you have to rethink what you believe. We have trouble with our finite minds even coming close to understanding God's infinite ways. This many times gives us "spiritual whiplash". Do you really want to totally understand God? If God was small enough to be understood, He wouldn't be big enough to be worshipped. We must trust His sovereignty, that He is in control and that He has a plan and we are in it. Does anyone elses neck hurt?

I've def. had some whiplash over the past years, but after it's all said and done the minor pain of the whiplash saved much additional longer-lasting pain.
Chrsity, great point. But that is because you learned something from the whiplash! Life then becomes a little easier when we don't repeat the same mistakes again. Sometimes though it takes me more than once....I will learn....eventually.
