Sometimes (Peace, Joy, Love)

We know that God knows what we need, and cares about it. He cares about us enough for us to share our concerns. We can rest knowing that he will answer with what's best for us,  provide for our needs. You know what we can pray for, that he has already promised? The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faith, gentleness and sell control. See how it starts will love, joy and peace? Isn't that really the end game of most of our requests?  What we wish for ourselves, and for others? If your live is filled with peace and joy and love, you don't have room for worry. If you have joy and peace, you can have patience. And what caps it? Love. To love and be loved. We love him, because he first loved us. Oh what love. And because he loved us, can love others and ourselves. .sometimes (Slow, soulful, like long waves against the shore) Sometimes I pray at oh Lord How long will this night last Sometimes I wait in vain For the rain to pass I cry out l...
