Last night I was having a conversation with my son about events taking place in the Middle East right now. That coupled with the less publicized attacks against Christians in the same region, and truthfully throughout the world, was filling him with a sense of rage. Sitting there listening I can remember when I was in my 20s being just as quick tempered especially when faced with a scenario or topic where I wanted to protect…everyone. Now that I am 20+ years older I see things from a different perspective. Although the 20 something-year-old that still resides inside of me wants to come down like a hammer, I understand now that that is not our way. As in all things, all we have to do is simply look to Christ. When the Romans came for Him and Peter drew his knife to fight them, He said no.

Because that is not our way.

We must never waver in our faith and prayer. Believe me I know it’s really easy to question things when you look at the direction society is going. And maybe doing something as simple as praying seems like not enough.

But that’s when our Faith needs to become the strongest.

It’s at that moment we we need to tell others and physically show them that it’s through prayer and our faith that evil will be defeated.

Something to remember when it comes to prayer is that when we’re praying we are literally having a conversation with God.

We’re having a conversation with God.

And there is absolutely nothing that God can’t accomplish or handle. It’s not just believing in God, it’s trusting Him. And remembering that He believes in you. And He trusts you.

Know that I am always praying for you, and remember to live the Faith. God bless.
