Pearls of Grace: 12 Pearls + 12 PrayersPrøve

People: The Lord gives us people to be His hands, His heart, and His feet. He grants us grace to see Him working in the events and individuals He has brought to love and care for us. He surrounds us with His love. We must remember that there will be times that in His perfect wisdom He takes people away and sets us apart completely unto Himself. In times like these, when we feel alone and isolated, we must remember that He is always with us. God will never leave us or forsake us. And remember Jesus' words, "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Mt. 28:20b) Abba Father, help me see those you have placed in my life as gifts from you. May I be thankful for them and learn from them. When you take them away, for a time or forever, help me look to you and trust you to love and care for me as you see fit. Grant me the grace to trust you, your ways, your wisdom, and your timing because you are always perfect and loving. In Jesus' name. Amen.
