I am reading the Irish fiction series The Emerald Ballad by
B.J. Hoff. This quote is from book 2 and
is part of a prayer by Pastor Jess Dalton:
“Remind us of the trust, that Your sovereign will does not
depend upon our faith, nor can Your mercy ever be understood by our finite
minds. Our part is to trust Your mercy
and acknowledge Your right to fulfill Your purposes—in Your own way, in Your own
time. Surely we can do that much,
Father. Surely we can trust the mercy…and the love…of a Lord who would die for
us. Surely we can trust the Lord of the
Cross…”
Although the group is praying over someone ill, the words
resonated with me so much that I put a sticky note by it so that I could share
it with others.
Our God is the Almighty One and His grace and mercy sustain
us. Thank you Lord!
