VoV Third Day Evening...

...Give us fatih to believe, and believing, to have life in Jesus;
May we enter into his sufferings;
Let us see thy hand in the instruments of our grief,
rejoicing that they are from they over-ruling providence.
Let not our weeping hinder sowing;
nor sorrow, duty......

that is a tough thing to pray, and it is the movement of faith in the heart to pray it. It goes against the grain of the flesh and our natural way of looking at things. Yet in reality it is the way to come out of and to grow through grief and suffering. Bitterness and anger at God only lead to a life full of anger and bitterness. The way through the pain of grief is to embrace the hands of a Sovereign God who suffered for us.
