A
father related that during their family time each person was going to pray for
one person. His son prayed to ask God to help his friend Eddie be better at
school because he was so bad. When they got together the next week, the father
asked his son if he was going to pray for Eddie again. “No,” the son replied, “I
prayed for Eddie last week and he is still bad.” You may be chuckling but that
is what many Christians do with prayer. They easily give up praying.
ADVERSITY
BUILDS CHARACTER AND CHRISTLIKENESS
Sometimes
God sends His love letters in black-edged envelopes. He allows us to taste the
bitterness of want and the desolation of bereavement. If you have lived many
years, you have passed through the narrows. We have all been there. It looks as
if things have got out of hand, and somehow or other we have been forgotten.
When there is no one at hand to say it to you, say it to yourself, “God is
faithful, who will not suffer the pain to exceed the measurement of my
endurance” (C.H. Spurgeon).
