how long

6/22/11 It rained last night...1 1/2 inches at our house. How long had we gone without rain? How long has the temperature been at 100 degrees and higher? How long will we stay in Afghanistan? The President is supposed to tell us tonight. How long will this economic downturn last? How long will the tension between Israel and Palestine go on? How long will cancer, addictions, depression, abuse, ect., continue to stalk us?

My breath prayer for the day is from Psalm 13:1, "How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?" We join our voices with all of those faithful ones down through the ages whose trust in God was so great that they would dare to confront the Almighty with the question, "How long?"

The wonderful thing is that the LORD God does not reject us or our question.

Love,
Lynn
