Night Prayer 

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Inspiration 

God asks Job if he knew how the foundation of the earth formed. Of course, the answer is no. Even if explained to us, we would be incapable of understanding; our limited minds are humble.

He loves us, and we trust that His plans for us are always to our benefit.

Prayer 

Dear God, we are humbled by the power of Your hand, and we lift our voices in praise for the love you unconditionally bestow upon us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

King David and his son, Absalom, had been fighting for years. Absalom ...
