All...

February 21, 2011

My parents, my brother, sister-in-law and one-year old nephew are visiting in Christchurch, New Zealand today. I got a half a text just after Bible study ended tonight from my mom, which read, "In christchurch 6.3 quake. All"

"All " what?

It was interesting because I had just finished praying while we were closing our study for the night, and I was saying, "Thank you, God, for being in New Zealand today, and I pray for my family's protection there. Nothing in all creation is hidden from Your sight. Be with them." And I didn't know what had just happened. Ten minutes later, while I was tidying the room, I got the text.

I praise Him that He gave me the words to that prayer before I knew I needed to pray it.

I praise Him that He answered my prayers before I knew I needed to pray it.

I am so thankful for their safety. And now that I know that I need to pray, I will! And I will continue to praise Him---

He is All mighty.

He is All powerful.

He is All wonderful.

He is All I need.

...for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew 6:8b
