Why Lord?

How do we explain some of the things God does? Even if we do not understand all he does or why he does it, we can still trust him.

Perhaps someone reading this page today has been unable to understand why they have been allowed to suffer while others have not.

In those circumstances it is always good to ask this question, ‘What does God want me to learn from all of this?’ Sometimes when we begin to really learn the lesson God has for us, he then changes our circumstances. When the planned change begins in us, often the situation changes too.

True prayer of course is always ‘unto God’. Sometimes we need to be reminded that without him we can do nothing. If we want what prayer can do, then we have to be truly in touch with God.

Prayer was very definite, too. Notice it says ‘for him’. They were not praying general prayers which went round the world and back again. They were praying definitely for Peter ? a particular person ? and God heard and answered.

Sometimes we have to pray in faith, not knowing just what God will do. But when we put our trust in him and definitely ask him for that which is on our hearts, he will always answer. We may have to wait. His answer may not be what we wanted or asked for, but it will be for our best good. Lord, teach us to pray.
