Dedication

I dedicate this book to every person whoever desired to find balance when life feels out of control. I dedicate this book to every believer who wonders where God is in the midst of our trials. I dedicate this book to the individual who has been experiencing seasons and cycles of adversities while waiting for their change to come. Finally, I dedicate this work to the great men and women of God before me, who didn’t grow weary while trying to balance life’s uncertainties. Those who taught us how to pass the baton of faith to the next generation of believers.

Dear Readers

In the pages of this book, I desire to share with you how God guided me through some of the most trying times of my life. Times when life felt out of control. I believe this book contains the key to life and faith in the midst of uncertainties. My experiences and everyday encounters changed my relationship with Christ. There’s a day coming and now is when true worshipers will worship in spirit and truth.

My prayer, I hope this book is long enough to teach, inspire, and motivate and yet brief enough to help you balance when life feels out of control.

Introduction

According to the world population clock, there are an estimated 7.7 billion people in 2018 on Earth. And the current population increases to 3 million people per year according to worldometers.infoworld.

Romans 8:22 (NIV) states: …that the whole creation has been groaning as in pains of childbirth up to this present time. So that means 7.7 Billion people on the earth is groaning according to Scripture. What is the reason for this groan? It is because creation awaits for the children of God to be revealed so that creation itself will be liberated from uncertainties and bondage to decay and be brought into freedom. So, to put it in nutshell, humanity is hurting because of the uncertainties of life. The groan is attached to the purpose and the whys of life. Yes, everybody has a why.

Why did my son die?

Why does God let bad things happen if He’s all-powerful?

Why did my marriage fail?

Why did cancer come back?

Why so much hate in the world?

Why am I still single and saved?

Why do I battle with anxiety if God promised me peace?

Why? Why? Why?

Seven point seven billion people on Earth and no one person is exempt from hurt, pain, trials, or the uncertainties of life. These groanings are a spiritual clue that the purpose God set within each of us groans to be birthed. People are daily and personally experiencing trying to find the answer to creations mystery.

Believe it or not, this mystery is embedded in the agitation of mankind. This secret lies in the balance of life. The key to balancing life’s
