Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:24


Sometimes we don't get what we want or what we pray for.  We believe on God's word yet things seem to remain unchanged.  God doesn't always get His way either. He desires that none perish yet daily millions make an eternal choice and do just that. When our prayers seem to go unanswered we need to continue to be committed to completing our course. It was God's will to give all men the option to choose.  He desires that all would choose to accept His love, and receive His mercy, but if they refuse we can't allow it to crush our spirits or prevent us from continuing in our service to Him.  It is easy to become frustrated when others refuse to follow God's will for their lives and it adversely affects our own. We can be encouraged and know that God will work all things for good to them that love Him and are called according to His purpose.  We can't lose sight of His purpose for our lives as we continue to pray and intercede for those who are rebelling against the perfect will of God.  

Prayer 

You Lord are our hope, you give us peace and strength through all circumstances. I stand in awe of your greatness. Only you are able to see inside a man's heart and change it. I pray that all would choose to follow your ways and to accept your love and mercy into their lives, but if the entire world chooses to reject, I will still say yes Lord. Amen.
