Another shooting in Pittsburgh,Pa

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ninny:
It is hard to sit still at times and know that God is in control of everything. The only way to deal with this sort of thing is to REALLY know that God is never taken by surprise, nothing ever shocks Him and nothing is too much for Him to deal with. It's what stands between us and paralyzing fear. I pray for peace for all the families of the victims and peace for all of us who try to understand.

It is correct and proper to pray to Jesus to appoint to us the above blessing and gift of comprehensive insight into His Ways and Purposes to give us His Joy while yet we are still in the world but not of it.

From Rays Paper.....PRAYING BY GOD’S RULES

http://bible-truths.com/praying.htm

Let’s now understand this most profound truth. It isn’t just that, "…we know not what we should pray for as we ought…" No, it is much more profound then just that, it is that "….for we know not what we should pray for, to accord with what MUST BE, we are not aware…" Why does the spirit aid our infirmity? What is our infirmity? Our infirmity is that we don’t know what to pray for that will absolutely always be in accord with what must be God’s will, and God’s will is "what must be." And since none of us has perfect foreknowledge of what God’s will must be, God’s spirit aids those who are obedient to Him, in requesting and praying about, the right things, so our prayers aren’t in vain.It is the will and plan and preordained purpose of God Almighty, that’s what "MUST BE." "THY WILL BE done" (Matt. 6:10). Yes, God’s will MUST be done—always! One day we will all come to believe and appreciate the fact that God is Sovereign. God is always right. God always does what is best and perfect. And so it is vain to pray for something that is NOT "in accord with what MUST BE".

And only then does verse 28 make sense. Things don’t "just happen" to people who love and obey God (as most translations suggest in this verse). No, we should now be willing to accept the truth, "…that GOD [The King James leaves out the ‘God’ in this verse as if things just work themselves out without God] is working all together for the good…" And how is it that God works?

"In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who works ALL THINGS AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL" (Eph. 1:11).

And so, if we always pray according to God’s Will, with a clean conscience, obeying the commandments of God, and are aided by the Holy Spirit of God to pray only "in accord with what MUST BE," we will begin seeing answered prayer where we may have been frustrated in the past.





Peace...Mark

everytime i hear of another shooting rampage, whether in our country or another one, i have to keep reminding myself of what ray said regarding evil, that being that God has framed evil and that He is in control of all of it.

judith collier:
I don't know, but I pray because the spirit in me is compassionate and feels for these people and violence is evil. I say come Lord Jesus, come, and come quickly.Judy

meee:
         Mark, we know from God's Word that all these things must be, and the Word says God is in control. All is in His foreknowledge, so I'll pray for healing for the families hit by tragedy and God's drawing them to Himself. Lord Jesus can't come soon enough for us, but God's timing is perfect, so God willing we wait and endure and stand.
