Prayers for August 9 2014

God there are times I feel slightly overwhelmed by how many people there are. I notice huge apartment complexes, sprawling suburban neighborhoods and high rise luxury condominiums. That is just what I see as I travel around this large city. I know there are thousands of other cities with far more people than I can imagine. Yet You know me personally and intimately. Yet You care about me. Yet You have heard and answered my prayers. WOW You are awesome God!

I used to live near a busy airport. I often saw passenger airplanes taking off and landing. Each one had hundreds of people in them. There were that many people coming from that city to this one or going from this city to that one. And later in the day hundreds of more will make the same journey. I see the hotels near the convention centers that must have lots of occupants every night. You are fully aware of all the details of each business trip, vacation and visit to family. Your mind is so vast that it staggers my understanding. And all this is based on my passing observations. Yet You are fully aware of each of my thoughts, feelings, intentions and more. WOW You are an awesome God!


God You know that I can get very depressed if I pay too much attention to the news. I can feel distressed to notice grown up acting so foolishly. There seems to be no end of how humans can harm one another with street crimes and wars. You gave us free will. You led us to create laws. You help law enforcement. But still there is violence, injuries and death. Lord I do not get it. I know You are a good God and You are powerful and You are love. But we sure make a mess of things. You have given us Your holy Word. Clever people have attempted to use Your Word to explain our mess. None of them have fully explained all the craziness. But in Your Word You did promise that after this life there will be a place of eternal rest. We will not have this spiritual darkness. We will be in a haven saturated by Your love and truth.  WOW You are an awesome God!
