Eph 1:15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints, Eph 1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Are you a partner with GOD, If not, do not expect to receive HIS promises
When disappointments happen to us and when we suffer lost, most Christians will fall back on this scripture "All things work together for the good". What is missing here in the use of this verse is our requirement to be a partner in works that support the purpose of GOD in the earth. If you do not meet the conditions of the partnership arrangement then all things are NOT working together for your good.
Rom 8:28 We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
Many of us are absent the fulfillment of GOD's promises for us because we have not learned and acted on the requirements needed to receive the promises. We are told to just have faith and GOD will move for you. This statement is very true but consider another true statement, that faith without works (corresponding action) is dead.
