Even when we do not understand, we trust and follow the Lord

Day 140: Psalm 44: 17 – 18

Psalm 44:17 All this has come upon us; But we have not forgotten You, Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant. 18Our heart has not turned back, Nor have our steps departed from Your way.

Father, we face hard times. We go through the fire and the storm, but we do not understand why. We know of no special sin or rebellion against You. We have sought to follow You in Spirit and in truth. We continue to follow You.

            We have sought to walk with You by grace through faith in Christ alone. Even as Your servant Job trusted You and sought you day after day, so we have sought to walk with You in Spirit and in truth. By Your mercy and grace, we have continued to trust and follow You. We have sought You and sought to love and serve You and those that You have brought across our path.

            O Lord, grant us the strength to continue to trust and follow You even when the way is hard and painful when the future seems so dark and difficult.

            In the strength of our Lord and Savior, Amen!

Jesus Christ brought me to Himself at a very early age. I began seeking the Lord and writing prayer journals in my early teens and have continued to grow in my knowledge and experience of prayer. I am still learning and growing in my prayer life and long to help others grow in their prayer lives as well. I am not an expert, but a practitioner who needs God to continue to teach me to pray. Prayer is both simple, yet also profound. It is deep and draws us into the depth of God, but it is also so easy and wondrous that we can cry out to God with "Abba, Father" prayers because of the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Prayer comes from God's heart, works in our hearts, and teaches us to go back to seek God's heart!
