I was reading on Sunday- I was reading about a man who was worried -- he was worried about his present situation and about the future - He didn't know about the future. One thing he knew .... that his cause was just .... the preservation of his group's families, religion, freedom and peace. He knew his group was good. He knew that he loved his children and he wanted the best for them. But he was worried.

Here is what he did with his group.

He said, " we did pour out our souls in prayer to God" I am sure his soul ached with desire for those in his care.... including himself. He says, "we did pour out our souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us..." " ... and also give us strength to...." and then he listed his worries......

I imagine it was a longer prayer and a deeper soul felt process than the short verse reads and that his list of worries was pretty long and specific. Then he says,

".... and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him."

Hmmmm. I have heard of this before. I have felt this before. I am grateful for this shared experience of this man.

Hmmmm. " The Lord granted assurances that he would deliver us. He spoke peace to our souls, he granted great faith, and did cause us to have hope for our deliverance in him.

I like that. The Lord is in the details of our lives.
