I read this this morning and felt the prompting to dwell on this statement. Given what has been going on from in all areas of life right now it is easy to feel as if there is a major trembling in my life. Things like job security, finances, new family circumstances, care for Jordi, Jordi's future, mine and Moo's future, and so much more. I am overwhelmed-- and I only know to go to Him-- my Father in heaven. I am so in need of His strength and courage because of all of these things. I have not felt this unstable or insecure for many years, but my life experience tells me that God wants me to rely more heavily upon Him. It is difficult when the environment around me shows that things are going to get worse but I'm trying to live out Ro 5:3:
"...And we rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God. Not only so, we rejoice in our sufferings..."
How am I to make all of this work? It's simple. I'm not.
Lord, I pray for Your strength and courage-- and Your Holy Spirit to fall upon me. Direct my paths in a way that I can be a good steward of what you have blessed me with and have allowed me to care for. Give me Your wisdom and guidance to make the right decisions with clarity. I pray the same for Moo for her new position.
I thank you that you would even listen to my cries and pleadings.
Your servant, Robert
