Bible in 90 Days. . . "How Long Must I Pray?"

I’ve actually had several blogs I wanted to do for some time, but my time has gotten away. Plus, having an issue with my internet working intermittently has made it a bit difficcult. Can you believe we are on Day 67?

Habakkuk 1:1-5
The Prophet’s Question
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry,
And You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, “Violence!”
And You will not save.
3 Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause me to see trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.

The LORD’s Reply
5 “ Look among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.



The scripture this morning reminded me of the song, Hold My Heart.

Do you often wonder how long you must cry out for help? How much more time you will spend in prayer and anguish over a situation? Do you ponder the new “trends” of our society? Habakkuk is pouring his heart out to God. He is seeking God’s answer to why God is “tolerating the wrong?” Do you often wonder the same questions? Lately, I have really searched out and asked God WHY has my family had to endure the current situations were are facing, and it is a wonderful feeling to know I can approach my God, pouring out my heart, my brokenness to Him. His answer was exactly what I needed to read today- WATCH and be UTTTERLY AMAZED! Lord, I am watching and I will choose to be amazed. Let me be amazed by your glory, your holiness, and your sovereign ways. Each time I wonder where is God in our situation, he speaks clearly to my heart, Let me be God!
