Been over on the election threads all evening.I was finding myself looking down at the water, and feeling like I was going under. Decided I had better get myself over to the prayer thread where I belong!!! Sure glad I did!! God is in complete control. I will PRAISE HIM and THANK HIM as LONG as I have BREATH....TRUST and OBEY for there is NO oTHER WAY!!.....Hebrews 4:9 " there remaineth therefore a REST to the people of God."
That's the best way to see it.
We have been praying for God's will to be done. We know what we want, but God is not Santa Claus - he has his own plans, and they will come about. What our job is to be the tool in his hands, salt, light, leaven, ready to go where he calls and strive to do what he says and be a witness to his presence. We are also to expect the world to contend with us greatly.
And so it does.
Lord, be our light, now and forever. Amen.
