For The Moment…38

No one said trusting is easy, especially when darkness surrounds you, and doom is at the door.

This is the time you must dig deep into yourself and pray.

Pray when your heart is breaking.

Pray when you feel so helpless and alone.

Pray when there is nothing left to pray for when you see nothing happening.

Pray when all is quiet and there is no movement to victory.

Pray with a passion you did not know existed.

Pray and believe.

The passionate, sincere prayer of a person living right before the Lord is powerful before God.

The effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much. (Adapted from James 5 verse 16.)

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait

This I recall to my mind therefore have I hope.

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed,

Because his compassions fail not

They are new every morning: great is they faithfulness,

The Lord is my portion, says my should; therefore will I hope in Him.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him,

to the soul that seeks him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
