When we say those words, a part of what is called the Lord's prayer, we don't always realize how important they are and what power they have to free us from anxiety. God 's will is inevitably unfolding in front of our very eyes. He is in control and all things will be for His glory. Once we acknowledge that God is all powerful we realize we have nothing to fear. if we are His children. God is at work in our lives and we just need to say,"You know what is best for me Lord, even when the difficult days come. You know best." As we go through those difficult days we grow stronger in trusting Him. When we trust Him He can use us to do His will. When we trust Him fully, we will go to the ends of the Earth for Him, if He wills. Or we will stay at home if He wills.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
