Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts shares this message where she says “I don’t always agree with God” because her immediate response to confusing circumstances isn’t always to trust God. She took to Instagram to write:
“I don’t always agree with God. My immediate response to confusing circumstances isn’t always to trust God. Sometimes I allow disappointment, doubt, or weariness to create distance in my relationship with God.
In those moments I feel powerless and I rebel against the practices that will bring me peace because how do you worship the One who disappointed you?
When you give up in the tension you forfeit the opportunity to have a more resilient relationship. So I lean in. I let my heart break. I let my expectations be rearranged. I grieve. I breathe.
And it’s only then that I remember the track record of God. The holiness. The promises. I experience the resurrection of my spirit and I am made new. Not because I deserve it, but because we serve a faithful God that will be faithful even when we have an affair with doubt, anger, and disappointment.
Many sermons from Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts has motivated many young women in and outside America.
