How many times have I given something to God only to try and tell Him how to handle it! “God, I know my dog is very ill but please keep her alive for another few years because I am not ready to let go. Yes, you're in charge but consider my pain.” And when my sweet companion passes despite my pleadings, my world turns upside down. I didn’t really turn it over when I insisted God let my pup live. When it doesn’t happen, I am turned on my head. However, had I believed that my Higher Power would handle it, I would have no outcome to hold on to. Then when she passes, although I would grieve, I could more easily accept it because it wasn’t in my hands, but HP’s.
