Cast Your Cares

Casting all your care upon him
for he careth for you.
1 peter 5:7 KJV

When life becomes a problem
          much too great for us to bear,
Instead of trying to escape,
          let us withdraw in prayer--
For withdrawal means renewal
         if we withdraw to pray
And listen in the quietness
         to hear what God will say.

This morning I was reading this verse:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,  you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance....James 1:2-3    God wants to strengthen our faith, but we don't really like the trials and challenges that we face,   What are you facing today?  Have you taken it to Jesus in prayer?  Have you asked him for help?  Did you express to him what you truly feel, what you need?  Then have you waited and listened for his answer, sometimes he speaks softly.....


Father, help me to have a listening heart, willing to hear what you are saying.  In Jesus Name. amen.

Yesterday we were in Grand Forks,  We ate lunch with jacqui and Alicia and I had Dr. appointment, I am doing o.k. but still need to be careful about lifting.  I got fabric to make Janet a quilt and  then in the evening we were at Larry Ohma's and got some photos for our class reunion.
