An Angel......from my Prayer Garden

Praying today for some special people.  Most all of us know people who have or are presently suffering.  Suffering is painful, perhaps the most difficult type of pain, for  both the heart and soul are involved.  Truly, those are the saints and angels we are honored to know in this earthly life.  All of those people teach us many truths about our Mighty God and how His Hand moves in difficulty!  Every day there are people who suffer and are in situations dependent upon God's hand to move. Their lives teach us how praising God and waiting and watching for Him to turn things around can become part of our own personal prayer lives and draw us nearer to Him as we seek His answers in their situations.  "We......have to remember that His timing is not ours.  God's timing is perfect.  Praising Him helps us to rest in that."  Stormie Omartian

God has promised in Psalm 31:15 that our times and our lives are in His Hand.  "Oh, how great is YOUR goodness which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of men."  Yes, earthly angels are those who suffer, reminding us that when "You pass through the waters, I will be with you."  Isaiah 43:2..... Both blessing and refreshing!  God cares for those who suffer.  "But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you."  I Peter 5:10  Let us remember trials are temporary in light of eternity!  Looking forward to Eternity with the Savior!!!
