Genesis 37

Father, you make the most of difficult situations.  It is you who knows and works all things to their rightful end.  Who am I to second guess or question why it is you ‘allow’ things to happen in my life?  Who am I to place my own knowledge and understanding above you will?  What higher form of idolatry can there be?

Father, in difficult or uncertain situations, may I rest in the confidence of your divine intervention for me and my life.  May I not be anxious in the details of this life, but may I be more than willing to endure the events of this life, resting in the confidence of your undying faithfulness and love for me.

Father, help me to rest in anxiety, uncertainty, and difficulties; for you are with me in each of these situations.  You are with me.  What greater comfort and assurance can their be?

CRR
