Biblical Answer

God's sovereignty and our relationship with Him are often misunderstood. People may think that God's sovereignty means He is distant, uninvolved, or even angry with us. However, this is not the case. God's sovereignty means He is in control of all things, including our lives and relationships. He is not limited by our choices or actions, but rather, He works through them to bring about His ultimate plan. When we think God is angry with us, it's often because we've misunderstood His character or the nature of our relationship with Him.

In reality, God's relationship with us is not dependent on our actions or good deeds. We don't have to appease Him or try to earn His love. Instead, our good deeds are a response to what He has already done for us. We are called to love and serve others because of the love He has shown us, not to try to earn His favor. When we're in a relationship with someone who is struggling with sin or causing harm to others, we can't assume God is angry with them. Instead, we can pray for them, asking God to convict their heart and bring about change. This is what happened in the example given, where the person prayed for their friend to be convicted and turned their heart towards God.

Ultimately, God's sovereignty means He is in control of all things, including our relationships. He can use even the most difficult or painful situations to bring about good and redemption. When we're struggling with a relationship or wondering why God allowed something to happen, we can trust that He is working everything out for our good (Romans 8:28). We can pray for understanding and guidance, and seek to love and serve others as a response to God's love for us. By doing so, we can have a right-standing relationship with God, and experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing Him.
