Comments for Palmer St. Parentheses ( ) http://dckoso.wordpress.com {remarks from around the center of indianapolis [by dave kosobucki (pastor of horizon central)]} Wed, 14 May 2008 13:31:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU Comment on Bible Reading Checklist by IndyChristian http://dckoso.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/bible-reading-checklist/#comment-169 IndyChristian Tue, 22 Apr 2008 11:09:08 +0000 http://dckoso.wordpress.com/?p=155#comment-169 Enjoyed running across this blog today. We've now added it to the aggregated 'Indy Bloggers' feed shown at IndyChristian.com. I particularly enjoyed this post -- it reminded me that this Bible-tracking method is what I used 20 years ago to get started reading through the Bible. Now I've been through it many times. Only 1 or 2 percent of Americans have read through the Bible even once. Is it any wonder Barna says only 4% of Americans hold a biblical worldview? So thank you Dave for leading Christ-followers into this important & helpful spiritual disipline. Enjoyed running across this blog today.

But as I was reminded today we cannot add one hour to our life by worrying about it, let God handle the stresses and challenges we face. Worrying gets you nowhere trusting in God can take you were you need to be. I must try to remind myself of this daily.

I guess I'm as slow to understand as the Israelites! Another good reason to "Rejoice in our trials".

Perhaps the key is in cultivating a greater appreciation for just how much He loves us and how much we are able to trust Him. Focusing on those two things - His love, our capacity to trust - can help us to more truly desire His will - even when we aren't 100% sure what it is. We may not get exactly what we want all the time, but that won't cause our confidence to be shaken or feel like such a struggle. It can be more like cheerful submission to a wise and loving Father who desires our absolute best. bev47, You’re not alone in that little struggle - and certainly God’s will takes priority over ours when we pray.

Maybe he has another plan and what I am asking for doesn't fit in that plan. This then shakes my confidence to believe that what I ask for I will receive. I hope but I can't say for sure whether it will happen or not. I struggle with this “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” - Matthew 21:22 (NKJV)”
