I wanted to remember this for future reference when the challenges of life come:
An excerpt from the book "God Came Near" :
"My oldest daughter fell into a swimming pool when she was 2 years old. A friend saw her and pulled her to safety. What I didn't tell was what happened the next morning in my prayer time. I made a special effort to record my gratitude in my journal. I told God how wonderful he was for saving her. As clearly as if God Himself were speaking, this question came to mind: Would I be less wonderful had I let her drown? Would I be any less a good God for calling her home? Would I still be receiving your praise this morning had I not saved her? It's a question that races through everyone's mind at one time or another. Is God still a good God when he says no? Our answer boils down to one of two responses: God is good all the time or God is good some of the time."
I pray, Father, that I will have the strength and faith to believe and KNOW that you are good, holy, and wonderful ALL the time.
