I wouldn’t want a sovereign God to defer to all of my prayers with a yes. I’m not omniscient. I don’t know what the weaving together of the tapestry of full redemption should look like, but I know going through the period of suffering that I’m going through is a benefit because it is a winnowing.
I’m filled with dross. This suffering is not salvific, but it’s sanctifying, and I’m grateful for it.
