The supervisor picking a co-worker instead of you for the new project.
Your sibling getting more attention.

A Psalm for the Pandemic
“He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.”
These words from Psalm 23 seem so soothing and comforting – and easy - at first look. But what I’ve been learning recently is that those verbs – MAKES – LEADS – RESTORES – these are action verbs. God is doing something here.
