Random thoughts on this Wednesday

I have not posted random thoughts in a while but today has been an interesting day. It started with a great prayer meeting at the church, the prayer was Mark 11: 20-25. "Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. ²³ Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you. ²⁴ So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." We have been meeting on Wednesday mornings, learning more about prayer as we seek a spiritual revival of the church. There is a shift of the wind but it is too early to tell where it lead us. While there this morning Bonnie was dealing with the news that her brother (57) has pancreatic cancer and it has gotten into his liver. She has weathered great adversity in the last six to seven years and so prayers are needed her way and especially for her brother and his family as they fight a courageous battle. Then a friend asked how to say goodbye to a member of their family and so I asked God  to be gracious as I responded to that request. Finally, great news, my son the Baptist minister has been called to a new church. I think it will be a great adventure for him and I believe God will use him to share the Gospel. I just wish he and I could set aside our challenges and be father and son again. So my prayers on this day are that God's will be done in all things, but with radical prayer I pray for the right answers and for the right kind of healing(s).
