God speaks today Friday | December 9, 2022

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Psalm 37:7)
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. (John 11:6)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

When the Lord takes longer than we expect

We must always pray and present our needs to the Lord, leaving the response to Him. The story of Martha and Mary shows that they appealed to their friendship with Jesus and asked for His help in their crisis. The Lord invites us to ask and promises to answer our requests. Our part is to submit our requests and then rest, letting Him respond in His own way. Jesus stayed two more days before going to see Lazarus, who had died, because He wanted to set the stage for a great miracle and demonstrate His glory. Sometimes what we think is a loss or delay is actually God setting the stage for something greater in our lives. We should trust in God's sovereignty and never doubt His love or mercy. Read more...

Alexander : My wife and I don't have children, we have a street dog. My wife became attached to him and sees him as a son. We have been with him for a year already praying for God to heal him. And I keep waiting for my wife because she cries seeing him with tumors in his nose. But I no longer have the strength. I had never asked so much for something, and when I see him bleeding I want to give him the injection, but he wakes up as if he had nothing. I can't with this anymore...

Moisés Herrera y Cairo Domínguez : That, it is sad to realize our weak faith and cowardice in difficult times, sick with COVID, when they told me, positive, I panicked, and I told God, you said that neither the plague nor anything would harm me that a thousand would fall my right and 100 thousand on my left, and I boasted because this disease had not given me, it was a terrible experience, with the discomfort, the reluctance, the abandonment even of myself, clamoring, begging, praying, asking until, health in a drink, because I was very thirsty, he arrived gratefully I asked for forgiveness and I understood, that faith trust is cultivated day. To day and I learned that my strength does not depend on my shame, I ask God to give me courage and confidence that he defeated death that he was resurrected and that when it comes, the time to leave awaiting the resurrection will have full security that he already prepared the way and that I will live and that I will not die
