There are many times in my life where I have had the gates close on my cell and I have had to trust God to do it all. Sometimes in illness, sometimes in finances, and even sometimes in the impossible He has managed to use each and every circumstance to bring glory to himself and make a believer out of me. Those times when I can't take another step are the times, I see Him the most. (Especially in hindsight LOL)
Funny story... Once when I was running a Christian bookstore and raising 8 kids, I got a phone call at 11:00 PM about my new and difficult teenage daughter. UGH! I was so tired I just wanted to cry, and I told God, "It's too late and I'm too tired to deal with this tonight." He said, "Good, then you won't get in my way." I went into her room, and we had the breakthrough talk that I never could have come up with on my own. I think of that often. God uses us in our weakness.
Measure your life by loss and not by gain,
Not by the wine drunk but by the wine poured forth.
For love's strength is found in love's sacrifice,
And he who suffers most has most to give.
Lord, thank you. Help us, Lord, to come together in prayer, all of us tired and weak but through you we are strong. Take our prayers for the students and faculty of Faith and answer them in the way only you can. When we don't know what to pray, Lord, we trust you to work all the better with the hidden things we can't see. Again, we ask that every student be saved and learn to walk closely with you. Thank you again and again, Amen
