Once we trust God,...Wonderful post, wonderful work. <BR/><BR/>Once we trust God, really trust Him, then we will see that we can join our wills to His Will. Our prayer is greatly simplified then, just that His Will be done, because our will doesn't want anything but what His Will wants for us.<BR/><BR/>Reaching out to such broken people, getting them to trust that God knew them before they were formed in their mother's womb and that He has plans, great plans for them, must be a great blessing that requires huge patience.<BR/><BR/>I will pray for your prison ministry.Therese Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925404067634150968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-35496749738309093532007-08-04T12:59:00.000-05:002007-08-04T12:59:00.000-05:00It's been a big lesson for me during the past seve...It's been a big lesson for me during the past several months to learn that the answers that God is giving to my prayers are not necessarily the answers I wanted -- but, true to form, they are the answers that I needed. The answers that we get to the prayers are the best answers for us, but not always the ones we're expecting. The real test comes when we have to accept the answers unquestioningly and without complaint.<BR/><BR/>Remember the quote from Teresa of Avila: "More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones."NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-1140488946265791372007-08-04T08:26:00.000-05:002007-08-04T08:26:00.000-05:00Wow Bob, I can relate to this.

I guess it really is just that we can't really know what He is up to and His plans are so much higher than & better than our own .

Some of this post reminds me of points he makes.<BR/><BR/>I'm preaching Sunday from Matthew 20. The Odd Math of Grace. I find myself thinking, "I have no clue why God does what He does.
