Pray with Confidence
Know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly
for himself; the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
Psalm 4:3 KJV

Often we pause and wonder
       when we kneel down and pray
Can God really hear the prayers that we say?
But if we keep praying and talking to Him,
He'll brighten the soul
       that was clouded and dim.
And as we continue, our burden seems lighter;
Our sorrow is softened
       and our outlook is brighter.

The key here is to keep on even if we don't immediately see the answer, and the answer may not be the way we think it should be.  God knows best.  For those of you who are Fathers, can you see how you are like him, caring for your children, you do want the best for them, sometimes you are asked to be really patient with your children, sometimes you ahve to discipline your children, sometimes you need to take them by the hand and guide their steps.  Think of the way you relate to your children, that is how it is with your hevenly Father and much more so.  He Cares For You.

Father, thank you for hearing, listening and patiently loving and answering those prayers we express to you.  In Jesus Name. Amen.

Yesterday was school and after wards I went and cleaned the church, ate pizza with Gladys Neidlinger, visited with Matt and Mavis and then went to Bible Study.
