Father God, Your faithfulness astounds me. You have taught me that You are not a man that You should lie. You have taught me that I can - I MUST - stand upon Your Word, for it is rock solid. Never failing. True. These thoughts comfort me, Lord. I can run to You and peruse the pages of Your precious Word and find my solace, my peace, my answers. And, even though I may not recognize Your answers immediately, my spirit has learned that my prayer is held tightly in Your heart and You are responding. I pray for my friend who is in the throes of a fiery trial. The smoke from the flames conceals You, Lord, until we learn to rest in the knowledge that You are indeed faithful and Your love will never fail Your child. Remove the effects of the smoke so my friend can know Your presence in the trial. Remind us Who You are. Open our eyes to see the magnitude of Your love and Your never-ending care for us. You are magnificent, Lord. Worthy of our praise! You Lord, are the One True God. We bless Your holy name. We love You, Lord.

Hi Nan! I'm so sorry about your friend's troubles.
ReplyDeleteI do love the image of the smoke obscuring the sight of the Lord. I don't think I've seen that before. And yes, waiting is so difficult. Still waiting for that job for my husband...seems to take forever. But God in on it!
I need to be still and wait on him. And he will come.
Have a great Monday!
