Adversity … The Setup

Sorry but this post is a long one, I hope you get a though...

Poems: Refuge

When you're going through some dark days
Fear not, don't be afraid, be of good courage
For I'm only a touch away
When sorrow takes place, have faith
Let Me be your resting place
As the winds blow, I'll hold and rock you slow
Tho' the earth moves from underneath your feet
You're still within My reach
When the mountains shift out to the sea
Don't worry, for at your side I will be
As the tide rises high, towering over thee
Be still, for I Am with thee.

Prayer Corner: Prayers that God will not ignore!

“And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.” ( I John 5:14 - 15 (KJV)

Ever waited for a blessing so long that you thought maybe God forgot? John lets us know that whatsoever we ask that is within God’s will we will have. What a privilege it is to know! Although it may take some time, but we will have it.

So remember the next time you kneel down to pray, think of God’s will for your life. Jesus did, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless, not My will but Thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42 (KJV) Jesus really wanted God to remove the cup from Him but God didn’t. That does not mean God didn’t love Him or hear his prayers. It simply was not within God’s will, and Jesus didn’t get the answer He wanted. Sometimes that was my case and maybe your case too.

I know God will not with hold any good thing from His children. And truthfully I'm glad that He did not answer some of my prayers ... Some of the things I asked for would have been disastrous =) Are your prayers within the Father’s will?
