I read it once and will reread it again to absorb it all. I recently read in 1 Peter 3 v 12 "The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to our prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil." Just knowing that he watches over me and hears my prayers is very comforting, especially, when I am crying out to him. We have been in a season that we don't understand since our Grandson was diagnosed with Leukemia last July. What I do know is that when we start to doubt or have fears it is when we have pulled away a little from prayer and conversation with the Lord. The doubts and fears direct us right back to the feet of Jesus. We have all drawn even closer and have become better witnesses because of it. Even our little Grandson who is 4, has become a prayer warrior for others. When he hears someone talk about a pain or a problem he will say "can I pray for you?" He prays right there on the spot. He is a witness to the rest of us. Thank you for your blog. I read it once and will reread it again to absorb it all.
