One of my sons is struggling spiritually,so I am trying to help him,of course I am praying for him,and my prayer for him is simple,and yet for us all. It is that he may come through to a stronger faith, and trust God for the ,'don't knows', Paul wrote of knowing in part,or as J.B.Phillips ,''At present all I know is a little fraction of the truth'' ( 1 Corinthians 13 v 9 ),it is the trusting that is important .It is Selwyn Hughes ; writing on Job ,says ,''God never answered Job's questions ,instead he answered the real need of the questioner and provided a deeper knowledge of Himself. .....what Job needed-was to know God deeply, closely. Job had heard about God ,but now he sees Him.'I will not give answers', said God to Job; rather, it seems as if God were saying to Job,'I will give you something better - I will give you Myself'. A prayer. Dear God grant us a faith that will trust you when the 'don't knows' come into my life, In Jesus name we ask this. Amen
