ANSWERED
PRAYERS
Written by Luz Leigh – 09 August 2007
When I last
wrote, I was disturbed about the temporary
closing of a portion of the Christianity Oasis
website. In my heart I wanted to believe that
God would not all allow the ministry done in
His name to be taken away. But, I was being
realistic, facing the reality that without
financial help the site would indeed close.
Many of us
wrote letters, made phone calls and personal
visits, seeking help for what some of the
regular chatters call “home”. The Lord heard
our petitions, touched hearts and opened
wallets. The funding needed was provided. I
hope all of you know how much I appreciate
your help. And could I ask one more
favor? Would you continue to support this
worthy ministry through your prayers and
especially through your monetary gifts?
One of the
daily Bible readings this week from Open
Windows, published by Life-Way
Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist
Convention, had some very appropriate words
and I quote a portion. “Our Lord’s unending
love gives us great strength, even in the face
of devastating trials.” The temporary closure
of our website was indeed a devastating
trial. We knew the Lord was on our side……that
He would provide, but we were impatient. I
believe that we Christians who were involved
in this happening came out stronger for having
been through this trial.
There is no
need for me to go on and on about the closure,
the provision for its re-opening or the joy
that was felt by those wanderers who call the
Oasis home. Just know this…..the Lord was in
control. He got the attention of some who were
not as close to Him as they should have been
and as I have stated, he strengthened our
Faith. God is good.
