in considerations surrounding
this incident described in Part 1 and 2.
Reading Part 1 and Part 2 of
the Power of Prayer will make these comments more meaningful. If you have

The Power of Prayer Part 2
1. In
the writing “The Power of Prayer” there was an event of seeing soldiers with
their rifles on their shoulders marching to the firing range. This was a
most fortuitous event leading to an answer to my problem and some might say a
coincidence. However, with
God, there are no coincidences. He is creative and just as a parent,
wants to help His children. God is not in the business of making things
easy for His children and this is a failing of parents in their desire to make
life better for their children than they had. God will provide, supply,
and see to our needs but sometimes you have to give up, look up, and open up
your mind for His solution, or you just might not recognize it.
For the longest time after that Friday morning of May 1972, I thought the idea of a gun sight to solve my navigation problem was my idea. When in January of 2009 I began to earnestly pray often everyday, it was then I began to think otherwise about everything about accomplishments in my life. At the very least, God gave me life, God gave me eyes to see, God gave me this brain to think, and God puts ideas in my head to follow through on. God gives us ideas to follow through on and do His work. The difficult part is our work, our following through on what He gives us to do.

It is when:
we in that helplessness we
submit ourselves to His grace,
in our acknowledgement of
helplessness and in His grace we
become our
greatest in the Kingdom,
when we acknowledge that we are
helpless to solve our
problems that we are more ready to
clearly open our
hearts to Him,
and we are humbly in acceptance
of His will, then
it is in
these spiritually low and “poor in spirit’ conditions
we are most
ready to receive the abundant Grace
of His
solutions in His kingdom; and
he will provide abundant
solutions,
often just barely on time.
God wants for us to have hope,
faith, and patience; He will take care of consequences. He did with
Abraham, He did it with Moses and King David, He did it with the Jews of Jesus,
Martin Luther, and others; and, He will do it with you.
