"I Pray That............."

"Let those who intend to take my life be disgraced and humiliated, let those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed."  (Psalm 35:4, CSB)

I prayed this passage during the 2020 election campaigns, particularly for President Trump and his enemies.  The natural eye said this didn't happen.  But then our Lord Jesus Christ impressed upon me, "The iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full," or, "has not yet reached its full measure."

Beware jumping to conclusions about "answered" or "unanswered" prayers.  The best way to cure gloating or despair is for you and me to keep our eyes and ears open to The Word of God Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ.  Do we really believe and act upon, "nevertheless, not my will but thine be done"?!?
 
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for fulfilling, "Thy Kingdom come.  Thy will be done...."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
