I'm On Vacation...- Part 1

Oh Yes, summer is here and it is time to take a family vacation. 

Hmmm. Let’s see.  Where should we go?

We could go to the beach or we could go to the mountains.

We could go to Disneyland or Bush Gardens.

We could even go visit Great Grandmother.

Decisions, decisions, this vacation thing can be quite taxing.

Have you ever wondered, “Does God leave on Vacation?”

Sometimes, when we pray, we feel God is not answering our prayers.  There is just silence.

There is not even a voice mail telling us to, “Leave a message at the beep.”

But God gave us words of reassurance in Deuteronomy 31: 6 and 8, Joshua 1: 5, and Hebrews 13:5 when he has said,

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

God will be with you no matter where your vacation plans take you.  Just be sure to keep praying.

If you find that silence again, you know it is probably the way we pray that causes the silence.

Try praying the words in Psalm 51:10-12

¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God, 
 and renew a right spirit within me.
¹¹ Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
