Resting In The Lord

Well…. We’ve done all that we can do. God is good and we can trust Him completely. We’ve made our choice in voting for who we think God would want to be our President by praying daily and sometimes many more times in that 24 hour period. Even though we may feel sad tonight not knowing how things will turn out, I feel an overwhelming peace settle upon me. Call it faith, call it trusting in the Lord, but whatever stills my heart tonight, I know it is of the Lord.
My yearning to be in His Word is overwhelming as I reach for my Bible. Thank you Lord for the truths contained herein. Thank you that I can talk to you openly and lovingly without interruption. I feel Your presence near, as I sit here and write, and think upon Your words. Father, I just ask right now that You protect all our troops overseas. What must they be thinking? Our country was established on Your principles, please don’t take Your eyes from this blessed land. I cry out to You tonight to hold on to us tightly as we honor You and love You for loving us.

Oh God, help us in this hour of uncertainty and disappointment. What is the lesson you are teaching us? Although we do not understand, we are open to Your ways.

2 Chron 7:14-15

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

(from New International Version)
