Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation[c] 6 and my God. PSalm 42:5

Today was a good example–His grace and provision showed up in a big inescapable way. I had prayed for His mercy–FOR MYSELF–and also to fill my heart for others. Sometimes He delivers within an hour. What happened is a too-long to share “amazing neighbors” occurrence that blew my mind, and gave me renewed HOPE. So to answer the question, I guess Praying MORE–and praying Specifically, to get my heart “right”–maybe oils the faith works so God can do great things. Color me grateful.
You are right. The more we are in His presence the stronger our faith manifests.
And perhaps we begin to glow a little…
Just a little. Too much glowing and people start thinking we are aliens. Oh wait according to Paul we are.
Definitely an alien, here, and some days it’s too much a burden–though mostly I’ve gotten used to it, after 60+ years…
Yes indeed. May I never get too used to this old world though. I want my place in HEaven!
I meant that I’ve gotten used to the burden of being an alien–not used to this very disappointing world.
Ahh yes! The alienness does take some getting used to. I think I have actually gotten to the point where I like my alienness though sometimes I think it makes me a little snarky with the world.
Yep, I’ve got some unlovely snarkiness…
