We're not promised to be spared from suffering. The opposite, in fact. So our prayers won't always be answered in ways that alleviate our pain.
...
thought about you last night. have i told you about this guy simon? he's been living in burundi, africa for a decade but has been in mt. pleasant for the past year. i heard him speak last night -- telling stories of what's going on, what he's seen, and how he was called to the mission field -- incredible. he's doing a bike across america to raise money for burundi for 35 days starting in march with a few other guys. goal is to raise 1/2 to $1M! will be speaking places along the way. but his knees have been so messed up he can't train, as in hasn't ridden a bike in months.
after he talked, we prayed for his knees to be healed for at least 30 minutes i'd say. it was a sweet time of worship and asking the lord to heal him. so far, he hasn't.
made me think about our conversation yesterday...not sure why god hasn't healed him yet. but believing he will.
