Asking God WHY

My friend, Mary, has posted a poignantly beautiful poem on her blog...Perhaps it will touch other hearts who have come before God with an honest, confused "WHY?"

The Question of a Disappointed Woman

Do you think that the infinite God cannot fill and satisfy your heart?
~Francois de la Mothe Fenmon

Learning to pray

Learning to pray is learning to trust the wisdom, the power, and the love of our Heavenly Father, always so far beyond our dreams. He knows our need and knows ways to meet it that have never entered our heads.

Things we feel sure we need for happiness may often lead to our ruin. Things we think will ruin us -- if we believe what the Father tells us and surrender ourselves into His strong arms, bring us deliverance and joy.

~Elisabeth Elliot
