He knows how to change the hearts of those who are wandering around in the world of confusion and ignorance. That is my prayer.Pamela M.

I meet with a group of women on Tuesday mornings who are in my age group (Senior Citizens),We pray for revival and for the needs of our church and the congregation. We ask God to allow us to see things with His eyes. The events of this past Monday night were things that I was able to get a correct handle on because of praying for God's eyes and for His wisdom.We have to live very close to God. Blessings on you and yours.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-84697437102073971092014-11-24T23:31:33.557-05:002014-11-24T23:31:33.557-05:00I commented on this Sat. night, but it just disapp...I commented on this Sat. night, but it just disappeared into lala land, so I'll try again! I know exactly how you feel and I'm right there beside you! I'm so glad that Mom and Dad aren't having to see and hear--and read the things that we do--their hearts would be broken! John is so right when he says to just pray and leave our concerns at God's feet. We were watching a newer Gaither program on Cliff Barrows and his memories of the music of the Billy Graham Crusades. So many of our old favorite hymns were highlighted. Music always seems to bring peace to my soul as it does to yours. God is in control!

No matter how great the message, it just won't sink in. I agree with your husband, pray and pray. <br />I love the fact that you not only pray together, you sing too. Just wonderful.<br />Blessings,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-74396772128272531852014-11-22T09:45:31.137-05:002014-11-22T09:45:31.137-05:00Thank you Terra.

Yes, when I feel anxious and worried about the future...(or my present), I often let music be my counselor and comfort...along with God's Word and His promises that help us to remember that He's still in control...FOREVER!!!Pamela M.

I didn't think I'd gotten as old as my parents...but I remember how they felt and their frustrations at our younger generation not valuing their values and understanding how they felt because of what they had lived through in their generation. A lot of what we feel is anxiety and fear about the future of our country and world, but we have to trust the Lord to take care of the future just as He has always taken care of our past. Keep our eyes on the Lord...He has the whole world in His hands!<br />Pamela M.

I don't feel old in body, but my heart and values are simply upside down according to what I see and read and sometimes I just feel done. <br />Your music and passages are a balm, thank you!
