a ZIM lesson & testament to the fact that God is more than enough

The current state of my heart is meditating on seeing children who do not have enough food to eat that are genuinely joyful to people who cannot keep track of all that they have and all they have on their lips are complaints. 

And reflecting on some words from Oswald chambers yet again. 

Fill your mind with the thought that God is there. God is my Father, He loves me, and I will never think of anything that He will forget. 

Jesus said there are times when God cannot lift the darkness from you, but you should trust Him. At times God will appear like an unkind friend, but He is not; He will appear like an unnatural father, but He is not; He will appear like an unjust judge, but He is not. Keep the thought that the mind of God is behind all things strong and growing. Not even the smallest detail of life happens unless God's will is behind it. 

Prayer is an attitude of the mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural. "Ask, and it will be given to you . . ." (Matthew 7:7).
