May 28th - Need - Pray - Trust - Wait - Praise - Thankfulness - Peace

The story...

I've a prayer box where I place scraps of paper with recorded prayers that I'm trusting God with.  I open the box, every month or so, and am consistently surprised at the answers I see.  Unexpected answers for each request.   If I was a little god, I'd never have planned the situations to work out the way they did.  I'm thankful that I left them with God and resisted the urge to intervene and "help" them.



The only church in town would pray for their hopes and needs and trust God for outcomes.  Later, when they open their "prayer box" they'd find unexpected blessings and glimpses of the light of God.


Just for today...
