Wonderful to hear that you know our Lord! 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. There are so many verses about affliction and it being God's will. He is Sovereign and ordains all things. Isaiah 45:7 He is not punitive and uses all things for good for those who love Him and are His. Romans 8:28. I have a pretty significant memory problem so can only commit to trying to remember to pray for people. There are so many people in my life that I pray for, but always feel like I'm not praying enough. I take it seriously. Terry, I am honored that you asked me so I will put forth my best effort. Psalm 34:3 "Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together". In Christ's unfathomable love, Sunnyflower
