  Main Texts: Exodus 13:17-18; Deuteronomy 8:2-5; Romans 8:28; Isaiah 1:25; Isaiah 43:2; Malachi 3:3 Introduction Many believers ask: “Lord, why am I suffering?” “Why am I going through hardship after giving my life to Christ?” “Why is my journey taking so long?” “Why are some prayers taking years to be answered?” These questions have troubled believers for generations.

The Broken Seed: Moral Story-What the Enemy Meant for Harm, God Used for Good

 In a small village nestled between rolling hills lived a young farmer named Daniel. He loved God with all his heart and dreamed of one day owning the most fruitful farm in the region. Every morning before sunrise, Daniel would kneel beside his bed and pray. “Lord, guide my steps. Let my life bring You glory.” One year, after months of hard work, Daniel planted his finest seeds. The rains came on time, and the crops began to grow beautifully. The villagers admired his fields and said he would surely have the best harvest.
