if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
John 14:1-3 (NIV)
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe >in God believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Romans 8:28 (NIV)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
James 5:13 (NIV)
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.
There have been so many things to pray for this past month and my heart is heavy. I know that God makes promises to us but it seems daily I take the same prayers to Him. Father protect the young man with cancer, heal him Lord, be with his family as they support him. Be with the young girls missing from not so far away from us. Be with the victims of unspeakable crimes. My Grandma would always make reference to the end of the world being near when something bad happened. I tend to go with 'free will" after all God gave all of us free will and some people choose to do bad things.
I won't ever stop praying and I see answers to prayers every day but today I'm focusing on the last verse...I don't often have problems going to God when I'm in trouble...now I need to sing songs of praise when I'm happy becasue
