2002-07-14 When God Changes My Plans - Len Evans

How can we tell the difference between our plans and God's plans for our lives? Why does God allow painful circumstances when we're trying to serve Him faithfully? Len Evans shares the terrifying story of his daughter Taylor disappearing on her sixth birthday morning—police, footprints, worst fears realized—only to find her standing calmly in the living room minutes later, during which he experienced supernatural peace through the conviction that "God is still good." Through mission trip mishaps and C.S. Lewis's insight that God "shouts in our pains," he reveals how changed plans cause necessary suffering that teaches dependence on the only One who never changes, while practical "painkillers" like praying for enemies transform perception within two weeks.
