Well, (deep subject).
I am no pastor, just another pilgrim trying to make progress.
I don't ask for blessings, I am so blessed every day.
I don't ask for safety, because I don't imagine that God is my personal air-traffic-controller.
I try not to put "God in a box," as we so often do.
I do pray that He gives me and those around me the wisdom and understanding that I/we need to have, and that our undertakings give Him the glory.
I am thankful for each and every day that I live, for each day lived is a blessing- no matter what the circumstances. I have blessings uncountable and I know I take many for granted.
I do pray for family, friends, leaders (yes, our President too) and co-workers (current and retired)- so that they may know Christ, and that they have the wisdom and knowledge recalled to them so that they make the right decisions for us and our posterity.
I know that this is a forum of many diverse beliefs and holdings, and even though I may not agree with those held by others, I respect other people.
Quite notably, this thread came up...
Today is the National Day of Prayer.
