Prayer for faith by the ocean

December 14, 1987 Miami Beach FL, Windy, warm/cool.

Psalm 103:13– 17

¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children—

We (Joseph, I and our children) are living in a special grace because our parents feared the Lord. What a blessing – how rich we are! Thank you Lord.

The ocean seems angry this morning. The waves are white capped and fast coming in to smack the sand. It creates some fear or awe in me. It is great to imagine that the Lord set boundaries for the ocean, for truly it seems with its power it could go wherever it wanted.

Lord, I want to ask something that is big for me this morning, although very small for you. Lord, we continue to struggle with lack of money. It’s an area that the enemy still hassles us with. Father, this morning I ask for forgiveness for our lack of faith and trust. Amen.
