Psalm 138; Esther 4:17(Esther’s Prayer); Matthew 7:7-12

In God’s good time

The more scientists and psychologists discover how the brain develops given the influence of our early years, the family, the times we live in, our genetic makeup and outside influences, the more we discover how our actions are complex. Only God can judge. When Esther prayed, God answered her prayer and kept her and her fellow Jews from being killed. Sometimes when I pray, I am like a child – I want my prayers answered now! Lord, grant us the trust and patience we sometimes need for your loving answers to our prayers.
