SOMEONE ELSE’S PRAYER!

SOMEONE ELSE’S PRAYER!

Acts 9:10-11

10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias.

Ps 4:8

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

Lord, when my plans are frustrated, I may be the answer to someone else’s prayer. Yet I know that all things will work out for good because you love me. AMEN
