GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY

Calamities happen, crawling into a cave of self-pity only deepens the problems. “Why me?” Why now?” “Why this?” These questions only lead to greater sorrow. The right question is: “What”…”what does the Lord require of me?” As it turns out the simple prayer taught to children as they pray over their food begins with a keystone principle: “God is great, God is Good.” Knowing the greatness and goodness of God is vital for significant spiritual progress, especially when things seemingly go wrong. Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, I am at rest in Your limitless care.
