Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
God is constantly working things out for our good. Sometimes he allows trials and testings to chip away the rough edges as He tries to conform us into His image.
Even though the Cross was in God’s plan, we who through our rebellious actions do not escape the responsibility of putting Christ on the Cross. There are consequences of our personal actions regardless of who we are. The only way to receive true healing is to turn to Him and seek His face (2 Chronicles 7:14).
God is always ready to hear the prayers of a repentant people (James 4:8-10).
2 Chronicles 7:14 f my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
James 4:8-10 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
