Keep Praying

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Luke 11:5-13

Everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. —Luke 11:10

We prayed. Quietly sometimes. Aloud other times. For more than 17 years we prayed. We prayed for our daughter Melissa’s health and direction, for her salvation, and often for her protection. Just as we prayed for our other children, we asked God to have His hand of care on her.

As Melissa rolled into her teenage years, we prayed even more that He would keep her from harm—that He would keep His eyes on her as she and her friends began to drive. We prayed, "God, please protect Melissa."

So what happened? Didn’t God understand how much it would hurt so many people to lose such a beautiful young woman with so much potential for service to Him and others? Didn’t God see the other car coming on that warm spring night?

We prayed. But Melissa was killed.

Now what? Do we stop praying? Do we give up on God? Do we try to make it alone?

Absolutely not! Prayer is even more vital to us now. God—our inexplicable sovereign Lord—is still in control. His commands to pray still stand. His desire to hear from us is still alive. Faith is not demanding what we want; it is trusting God’s goodness in spite of life’s tragedies.

We grieve. We pray. We keep on praying.

I question not God’s means or ways,
Or how He uses time or days,
To answer every call or prayer—
I know He will, somehow, somewhere.  —Whitney

God may deny our request but will never disappoint our trust.

Bible in One Year:   Numbers 17-19; Mark 6:30-56

Hey Tomkow did you get goof on by your cooking

[Non-Sequitur]

When I was in the Navy the popular belief was that those who graduated from cook school in the top half of the class cooked for the officers, those who graduated in the bottom half of the class cooked for the enlisted men, and those who failed stayed on as instructors.

My father was an army cook during WWII. Quite imaginative, too.

Maybe that was why Sunday night was always Dad's night. He put steaks on the grill. That position was sacrosanct; no one challenged it.

"Please listen closely, as the service numbers called are out of sequence.....

Numbers 513 through 673 and 1 through 242, report to the courthouse at 8am, Tuesday, February 27th."

WooHoo....my service number is #463. I still have to call each night after 5pm.

Thanks, ms feather, for today's Military Chefs and Cooks.

I enjoy the Pentagon Channel programs when they do stories on the contests amongst the units....pretty fancy stuff some of them put together. And many thanks to all the cooks all over the world who keep our military fed.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very cool Military Chef's site. The video shows them learning some seriously fancy stuff!
