My Aussie friends down under
take courage in your despair
Know to everything there is
a season of which you must bear
God has not forgotten you
His loving heart will see you through
So keep the faith and
believe in Him
Though the sunlight fades
and the skies be dim
Prayers of love mercy and grace
cover the heavens from every race
In hopes that your troubles won't last
By the mighty hand of God this too shall pass

This is a stark comparison to the popular opinion that the reason we suffer is because God decided it was deserved.
I confess, it is your opinion I prefer.
Your prayer for us, is beautiful. It is always uplifting to know that someone, somewhere, gives a damn. That they want better for us and will support us - even through word.
Thank you for this beautiful prayer.
Thank you for entering my contest and good luck

Great Inspiration....
for the devastating fires they are battling right now...and to find out they have been set by arsonists really makes it so senseless people losing their lives,homes because some are delusional in their minds to do such horrific things...I pray God helps end the fires soon with some heavy rains to diminish the spread of the fires...This was so inspiring and touching Darell and gives a healing touch to those touched by these fires...Thanks for sharing again!!!~~~Toni!!!
