Col 4:2
(NIV) Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
NOTE: It's important
to continue in prayer, to be devoted to prayer. God says he answers the prayers
of the persistent. But not only must we pray, we must watch for God's answers
and be thankful. Lord, you have answered so many requests in the last month
(and even before). You've healed Luke in many ways, you've provided a job and a
home. You've provided friends and security. You've met the needs of this family
in abundance. Thank you Lord for your great love, mercy, and kindness. Amen.
((Today, 9 Jul 2012:
My tendency is to view this period of my life as a time of great sorrow and
seemingly unanswered prayers. And while there may be some hyperbole in my 14
Dec 1987 comments, God was providing in many different ways. It is good to
remember that, because I think our tendency is to believe that God has not
answered our prayers when we don't get 100 percent of what we prayed for. But
God was answering prayers and he was providing for us. There was a lot of
heartache ahead, but there were glimpses of goodness in the midst.))
