KEEP PRAYING FOR UKRAINE!

My friend who I visit the orphanage with has left Ukraine for a little while, so I didn't get to go today. Please continue to pray for the kids, and pray that my friend will be able to return soon.
Our neighbors, the family that lived in the other half of this house, moved out unexpectedly. Please pray that the next tenents will be nice and that we will be able to reach out to them.
Praise God that we're getting over the colds we had last week.
We still aren't finished with our documentation to live here.
Orphanages are struggling financially. Pray for them and for us, as we may have some chances to help with basic needs that they have.

“Sometimes people speak of God having answered their prayer, but what they mean is that He has answered it according to their desire and done something about which they are glad. If He does something different, they say sadly, ‘He has not answered.’ All this is a mistake.

“Prayer is always heard if the one who prays comes to the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus. ‘I love the Lord, because He hath heard’ (Psa. 116.1) can be our word always, and also that other word, ‘This is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: and if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.’ (1 Jn. 5.14, 15) If we love Him, our real prayer is that His perfect will may be done, whatever the words are, and so it is certain that we have the petition even before we see it granted. The form the answer takes does not affect the fact.

“I know that sometimes we do not see how the thing granted is at all what we desire. And yet it is (I write for His lovers only). For after all, what the deepest in us wanted was not our own natural will, but the will of our Father. So what is given is our hearts’ desire; He hath not withholden the request of our lips. (Psa. 21.2) But God always answers us in the deeps, never in the shallows of our soul: in hours of confusion, it can help to remember this.”
