Now all we can see of God is like a cloudy picture in a mirror. Later we will see him face to face. We don’t know everything, but then we will, just as God completely understands us. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:12 (CEV)
Sometimes, Lord, I wish that I could better understand what you are doing. I get confused by the pain, the violence, and the trouble of the world. Forgive me for choosing to be anxious about such things. I know that I have a choice regarding how I respond. And I know that you have your reasons for revealing only a small part of your operation. I am going to be satisfied knowing that you have things under control and that it will all be revealed in due time. Please grow my confidence so that I might become a mature, convinced, and convincing follower of Christ Jesus -- even though I live in a troubled world. Amen.
