You can seek out good fortune, authority (power), and even a righteous life-partner...and find them all. But when all of this is gone...which it will be eventually, I wish you Peace, which is only found through Christ our Lord.
Stand up against the strong wind, weather the storm, keep moving forward, all while knowing in your mind and heart that adversity will soon end, and you'll still be standing...stronger, wiser, and more courageous. This is faith.
God surely works in mysterious ways, for out of the deepest and darkest confinements...a light still shines.
The simple act of praying and petitioning for prayers is in itself a blessing of God's grace and yet another step toward peace, forgiveness, healing, and salvation, regardless of the initial outcome of the prayer.
