Today, my morning devotional reminded me to do a lil self-inventory
and remember all the wonderful things God has done and been in my life...
to look back and remember all the prayer requests He has answered.
and I am thankful...
there have been many times that my prayer requests have been answered.
all sorts of requests as minute as helping me with my yard work all the way to
keeping my children safe and sound in His arms.
sometimes when we pray and pray over a particular request, and we don't see
any results, we can start to become embittered towards our Father.
we ask Him:
why won't You help me???
You can see what this means to me -
You can see my absolute heartache -
you can see my overwhelming weariness!
we want to yell into the vast silence:
WHERE ARE YOU, GOD ???
so, I write this for us all...
He is there...He is alive...and He loves you so very much!
our Father is honestly doing so many things
"behind the scenes"
that we simply cannot see or comprehend.
He is not sleeping, on a coffee-break or vacation.
He is not indifferent to your cries, pleas or heartache.
He feels everything you feel...your joys and sorrows both.
He has not forgotten you or any of your petitions before Him.
He is our Father...
Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient.
(All-powerful), (All-present - yesterday, today and tomorrow) & (All-knowing).
He loves you.
you can trust Him, with your dreams, fears and your very life,
because all you are and ever will be,
lies within His all-capable hands.
He'll never turn His back on you.
He will always forgive you when you are repentant.
He will always protect you when you need protecting,
save you when you need saving
carry you when you need carrying
and encourage you when you need encouraging.
Whatever trial or circumstance you're going through right now,
please know your Father is right beside you every moment of every day...
because that's just who He is.
