prayer - day 19

LORD

Thanks for today. We celebrated Caleb's 7 mths. He's so much a part of us that I can't believe it's only been 7 mths.

What happened to the children of Gulu today, LORD? Did you set some free from captivity? Did you heal broken hearts and restore their innoncence? I'm expecting so many good things to happen because you are intervening on our behalf.

Through our prayers we believe in faith that you are working to heal their land and bring good out of all this evil that Satan has done. My man and i were talking about prayers how we still pray even if we don't get the answers we wanted. He wanted to know why?

And I said to him because by praying we are telling your our hearts desires - which you gave us when you made us. We do it to put our faith into action. You already know what we're going to ask you, but we have free will to ask. By asking we let your Spirit work in our lives to achieve your will.

Then we put our trust in you because you know the bigger picture of which we are just a minute part of. You know better than us. You are our Creator and you have a master plan to save all your children in each generation, until that last day when your son returns and turns this world upside down.

We were talking about the child we lost. I prayed you would perform a miracle and save my baby but it didn't happen. They said that i would lose my only good ovary too and I wouldn't be able to have anymore children. You took my child to be with you and saved my ovary.

I knew of him for one day and then he was gone. I say he but I have no idea what sex my baby was. Only you know. I lost a child but now I have Caleb. I don't know why you did it that way. But I trust you, I stand on your Word which says not to lean on my own understanding but in all my ways to trust you and you will make my paths straight. I have Caleb, how can I be sad. My other child is keeping my Dad company, how can I be sad?

You brought some good out of the sacrifice of my child and I thank you so much for that LORD. You put the words of that song in my head as i cried to you last night 'blessed be the name of the LORD'.

So over these children LORD, this country I sing the words of this song and I remember that you are in complete control.

Every blessing you pour out I'll turn back to praise
when the darkness closes in LORD still I will say:
Blessed be the name of the LORD,
blessed be your name.

You give and take away. You give and take away. But my heart will choose to say LORD blessed be your name.

Jesus in your name i pray amene
