A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

Prayer requires both time and humanity both are in short supply in our busy lives. We tend to find ourselves; too tired and too stressed to even ask for what for want. We are becoming less convinced that God will help us. When finances, jobs, and most other things are slipping out of our control we tend to depend less rather than more on God.

The more difficulties we encounter the less we suspect God is able or willing to help us. We so soon forget that it is, He, who really does run the universe and yet His eyes are upon us continually. Whenever we forget that He desperately loves us, the more we act like orphans. As our patience run low we wrongly assume His are as well.

He admonishes us that we will never wear down His longsuffering towards us. Finally, we also forget that He reminded us that “in our weaknesses He will make us strong…and that He who has begun a good work in you will also finish it!”

Pray more and doubt less!

Pout and doubt and do without.. or pray, believe, and receive .

It seems to be our choice whether to be blessed or not.
