Beautiful Ladies !!!

Thank you.

After seeing The Passion of the Christ one or more times, most Christians will not look at holy week and especially Good Friday in the same way.

I join others at the Finest remembering - in thoughts & prayer - OUR FINEST on the fields of war.. God keep them safe as they do their work for our country.

My, but ya'll are up early! Have you seen the thread by bogdan who is on the phone live with his brother in Iraq giving play by plays of what is going on there. Don't know how to do links.

The whole coalition is coming together to whip this latest (last gasp,I hope) effort by the terrorists. Says Iran and Saudi Arabia heavily involved in the attacks. Big surprise(NOT).

Anyways, good morning everyone and a blessed Holy Week to all! Remember, Christ is risen indeed!

Keep On Asking

Read: Luke 11:1-13

I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you. —Luke 11:9

Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 7-9; Luke 9:18-36

---

I heard a woman say that she never prayed more than once for anything. She didn't want to weary God with her repeated requests.

The Lord's teaching on prayer in Luke 11 contradicts this notion. He told a parable about a man who went to his friend's house at midnight and asked for some bread to feed his unexpected visitors. At first the friend refused, for he and his family were in bed. Finally he got up and gave him the bread—not out of friendship but because the caller was so persistent (vv.5-10).

Jesus used this parable to contrast this reluctant friend with our generous heavenly Father. If an irritated neighbor will give in to his friend's persistence and grant his request, how much more readily will our heavenly Father give us all we need!

It's true that God, in His great wisdom, may sometimes delay His answers to prayer. It's also true that we must pray in harmony with the Scriptures and God's will. But Jesus moved beyond those facts to urge us to persist in prayer. He told us to ask, seek, and knock until the answer comes (v.9).

So don't worry about wearying God. He will never tire of your persistent prayer! —Joanie Yoder

Don't think true prayer escapes God's ears,
He hears your every plea;
Though hope's deferred, believe—believe!
The answer you will see. —Anon.

God never tires of our asking.
