Don't Forget to Pray

Do we believe that God is interested in our daily struggles and concerns? Do we believe that God will act on our behalf.  Do we believe in the power of prayer?

In this present crisis we have mixed feelings and emotion, responses. One minute we are angry beyond belief, the scared, then confident, then worried. Everyone is nervou and uncertain, asking, "What will happen next?" Most ar very proud to be Americans, and have at least a measure confidence in our President, our government and ou military. But still there is this lingering doubt about whz should be done, and whether it will actually make an. difference.

Please remember that we are on earth and God is in Heaver and that He still rules over all the universe. The Lord is ii charge. It is alright for us to take a deep breath and rela, our fears because this is our Father's world. We are Hi children and He WILL take care of us. Fear not!

I heard someone say the day the attacks took place, "Oh Lord, please send Jesus so all this will end!" Certainly wo can understand those sentiments. But if we believe tha prayer can change things, let us pray. And then pray some more. God is listening. goes
