All I see is pain or chaos and struggle and I want it gone. God however, may have bigger plans, so I pray with open hands that His Will be done. And listen of course for direction in more tangible support.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer is a wonderful, joy-filled life of anticipation, trusting God for the next good thing! Since nothing is impossible for Him, today might be the day of\u00a0healing, salvation, rescue, or change. To\u00a0see His glory in what I&#8217;m praying over. Either way He loves us!
