Triple C News - May 27, 2022

Hey, everyone.

Hope you’re having an awesome week, but frankly, this isn’t an easy one for that.

My heart is broken with all of yours. I couldn’t help waking up in the middle of the night thinking of empty chairs, empty rooms, empty arms.

I haven’t known what to do. I wish there was something I could do. All I have been able to do is pray. And I have been thankful to be able to do this. But I wish there was more I could do. I feel that if my tears could help alleviate some of the unspeakable sadness, I could (and would) cry as my duty for as long as this would help.

But in ways beyond understanding, praying may be exactly what I need to do when I don’t know what to do.

I know that when people seriously prayed, they often knew afterwards exactly what to do.

Cornelius was praying and a messenger from Heaven told him to send someone to Joppa to get someone he didn’t know who could tell him of a Savior he hadn’t yet met. (Acts 10 )

Peter was praying when God spoke to him and told him not to treat as unclean what (and those whom) God pronounces clean. (Acts 11 )

Guys were praying together when the Spirit told them to send two of them to places they had never been to tell of Jesus and His love. (Acts 13 )

I don’t really know how long it takes to read this every week, but what if you just took the rest of the minutes you’d spend reading…praying?

…for moms and dads, brothers and sisters, little classmates and friends, and grand moms and grand dads who don’t have words, that they will have His help today and hope soon…

…that we all might be open to everything Jesus has to tell us that we might be faithful followers of Him in confusing and painful times…

…that, as we pray, we might also know and be willing to do anything He is asking of us and everything His words tell to do…

...that we might understand His heart and His mind, according to His written words about what is happening all around us, and how He would use us as His instruments of healing and peace…

more and more each day, going forward…

Amen.
