At this time of nations and personal tragedies I feel it is a time for prayer.
For quiet and silence.
For reflection and meditation.
For giving thanks and also for asking the hard questions of
why… and how come and how can we go on?
God has not promised our life will be simple or easy or even peaceful.
Perhaps that is why he talked about the ‘peace that passes’ all understanding.
We so often don’t understand why things happen.
Why tornado’s hit and terror happens.
Why shootings and mass destruction of bombs take place.
We don’t have the answers.
But we do know who does and HE does not have to explain himself.
We just need to trust even when the answers don’t come to us.
{And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.}
(OR)
{And God’s’ peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus}. Philippians 4:7
WE don’t have the answers.
We just have to trust in the process of receiving the deep peace we can have within us from God at a time when we need it the most.
