We’ve prayed for homeless people, persecuted Christians, victims of disaster and abuse, first responders, those who are dying. We asked God to shelter them in the midst of their troubles.
When we pray for ourselves, we often ask for shelter from trouble instead of shelter in trouble.
Lord, teach us to measure your love for us not by the absence of trouble, but by Your presence with us.
Trust in God and Colonel Colt.
Trust but verify (except for God, who needs no verification).
