Summary & Analysis: It's Not Supposed to Be This Way

Though we can’t predict or control or demand the outcome of our circumstances, we can know with great certainty we will be okay.

In this book, the reader learns that:

• God loves us too much to answer our prayers at any other time than at the right time.

• God will allow us to suffer sometimes, but He won’t let that suffering be wasted.

• God isn’t causing this pain and suffering. He’s allowing it.

• The enemy uses disappointments to cause so much trouble in an unsettled heart.

• There’s purpose in the pain and joy in the making of a life with Jesus.

• Sharing our experiences is the best way of preventing others from drowning in their own tears.
