Tears started to fall as I was reading MC's latest entry.
Maybe I was touched. Or tired. Or just... taken by surprise?
There are many things that surprise me in life. That people actually do read my blog. How people think of me as a person. Why people do/say certain things.
Even when God answers prayers.
I'm 'taught' to pray without doubt. A challenge, no doubt. As much as I believe and trust with my entire heart in His sovereignty and omnipotence, there's almost always a trail of uncertainty and misgiving. Human nature? Skepticism? Lack of faith? Pride?
The familiar sense of sadness and guilt overcame me again this morning as my maternal side of the family went about some rituals for my granddad who passed away earlier this year. An entire clan of unsaved. Almost impossible to reach out to, almost unthinkable of reaching out to. So what should I do? Simply pray? If I were to do something about it, how do I go about it? How do I start? Who do I start with?
Yet God brought me a reminder with MC's latest entry: fervent prayers do work! Pray! Trust! Wait!
We can only be the Israelites who circles the walls of Jericho, but thou art He who makes it fall.
