It is hard to believe that we ought to praise You no matter what happenes in our lives.
I praise You for good ... AND the bad (from my perspective) times in my life, LORD.
God, I need Your healing and comfort right now.
Father, give me physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological strength right now.
I trust that You will provide when the right time comes.
I know that You will open their hearts and change their mind if it's Your will.
(Job 1:20~22)
"At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head.
Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.
...
Let this be my prayer and heart, God.
...
(1 John 5:14)
"this is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
And if we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that
we have what we asked of Him.
(Psalms 145:18~19)
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry and saves them.
Heavenly Father, help me to be patient and wait upon Your answer regarding this matter.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
