Whispers of His Power – JULY 3

Ps. 109.21:  Do Thou for me, O God the Lord, for Thy Name’s sake.

There are times when we do not know what to pray for as we ought.  It is restful, then, to leave the matter open.  Do Thou for me, O God the Lord.  That covers my personal need.  Do Thou for themcovers the need of those I love.  It does not matter that I do not know how to pray for them as I want to pray.  He knows everything, and He will do for them all that His love sees is best.

Rotherham’s translation of 2 Chronicles 20.20 has a word of joy for us all:  Trust ye in the Lord your God and ye shall be trusted.  We shall be trusted with answers to prayer which are not what we desired, as well as with those which are.  Isn’t it wonderful to be trusted like that, with just anything?

oooOOOooo
