You don’t have to have seen much of the news lately to know we are in the middle of natural disasters – drought and fire. I wanted to write down a few thoughts for your consideration while thinking about and praying for our nation.

Faith makes people weird. It makes people do things which don’t make sense to the naked eye. This is because faith is primarily concerned with unseen realities.

Faith is a key part of praying for healing, but faith in what? Is faith about picturing what you want or what you think God should do? Does negativity stop God's activity? Peter throws these thoughts around and suggests that faith in the person of God is better than faith in a particular outcome.

It's in stillness that God wants us to trust Him. Silence is an opportunity to put your trust in God and know that it's God that carries everything. Peter explains.

Where do you turn when you need help?

Do you ever need help?

Of course you do.

All of us are affected by evil and suffering. It is a thorny issue, both philosophically and experientially.
