And everything is in His hands.

There has been a long drought where I live.
God, it's in Your hands.
Huge fires are destroying land and homes.
God, it's in Your hands.
Wars and terrorism loom over the heads of soldiers away from their homes.
God, they're in Your hands.
Sickness affects those close and far and all around the world.
God, everything is in Your hands.
Everything.
The headaches, the grief, the fear, the destruction, the attacks, the sickness, the heat, the flames, the earthquakes, the floods, the fights- You hold our world, and You are so much bigger than those things.
Even when the devil plots to fill our minds and hearts with doubt. No matter what he does or tries to do, You are bigger, God, You are the Lord of Heaven's Armies, and we are Yours.
Jesus, you taught us to pray "Your Kingdom come, on Earth as it is in Heaven."
So bring your Kingdom!
Bring your health, and your light!
It is all in Your hands, so why do You wait?
I used to wonder what the Psalmist could be thinking when he asked You to kill off his enemies, or asked where You were in his times of trouble. Because of course You're always there, and You'll do what's good and right for those who love You.
But sometimes, like now, I can't see the big picture, and I understand how David must have felt, if only in a small way. Nobody's after my life but terrible things are happening all around me and honestly, it's hard to see You in them.
But I'll trust You. I will.
I feel like there's a couple things I'm supposed to be remembering right now-
Do not fear. I heard you tell me that earlier when I was getting freaked out by stories of spiritual attack. I will not fear. The Lord is my shepherd . . . I will fear no evil.
Childlike faith. Simple trust. It's like knowing your Daddy will catch you. And He will.
Heavenly Father, catch us, hold us, comfort us. Guide us, Holy Spirit.
I don't know why I'm typing this prayer as a blog. I guess it's okay since nobody reads it and it'll be preserved for me to look back on... :3
And I wouldn't mind others reading it anyway. This is a prayer for the world, God, because the world needs You.
We need You.
Everything is in Your hands.
