Every Christian probably wrestles with at least two questions.

Does God always answer my prayers?

And why does God seem to allow evil to prosper while the righteous suffer?

We especially struggle with these questions when they touch us personally.

It's most difficult when an evil person is hurting us or someone we love, but God

does not seem to answer our prayers for relief.

Has that happened to you?

Have you seen the wicked succeed while the decent among us fail?

While I pray this meditation from Habakkuk, chapter 3, will help you remember that when

you wrestle with the problem of evil, that you will go deeper in understanding faith

and prayer and choosing to love the sovereign God.

So rest here as we begin.

As the Holy Spirit opens your heart to remember the enduring love of God.

And whether at first or last light, allow your time to be a divine sanctuary of quiet

contemplation, a retreat, if you will, to choose to love God.

So take a moment now and choose to be filled with the awe of God's amazing works.

As we continue, we begin to take inventory of any distracting thoughts and choose

to let them slip behind you now.
