Bible Question:
Is the prayer for God to take our lives right? Thank you, Finder |
Bible Answer: Finder: I am reading the book of Job this week. If ever there was a person wishing he had never been born it was Job. I believe for some of us life can be very hard. I can relate to having been in such pain I wished I would die. However, when I have endured such feelings Psalm 139 has become more meaningful everytine I have felt that way. I have seem others in enotional pain that have felt they wanted life to end too. Pain comes in many forms. I have learned to pray to be in the center of Gods will. A prayer that askes to be in His direct will will NEVER go unanswered! This has come to me after much soul searching and looking for answers from God as to WHY. Scripture says to walk by faith, not by sight. Faith walking is not an easy road! I pray that something I have shared helps in sone way. Blessings. Justme |
