“Blessed are you, O Lord, merciful God,
and blessed is your holy and honorable name.
Blessed are you in all your works for ever!”
Following this prayer answers reigned down upon the supplicants.
As soon as this prayer was offered up to God;
he sent down his answers.
The angel came to Tobit restoring his sight.
The wicked demon was driven away from Sarah, giving her peace.
and blessed is your holy and honorable name.

Following this prayer answers reigned down upon the supplicants.
God is more likely to respond to true prayers of surrender.
He is less likely to respond to our despair.
In despair you curl up into a tight ball and become unresponsive...
In surrender before God you lay prostrate, face down...
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
This is a prayer of thanksgiving in anticipation for what God will do.
I invite you to begin the practice of thanking God for what
he will bring to fruition in your life
For God, as we know, does not operate within our limits of time.
Everything connected with us is present to God.
What we pray for today he has already taken care of for us.
We may not be able to see God's angels, but he sends them to surround us;
they are his appointed messengers.

The angel came to Tobit restoring his sight.
The wicked demon was driven away from Sarah, giving her peace.
Time, being of no consequence to God, makes the questions
about wives and husbands in heaven a foolish one.
When we arrive in heaven whatever we were as an earthly person
will be brought into his holiness and glory.
about wives and husbands in heaven a foolish one.

We cannot fathom all that God has prepared for those who love him.
Relationships in heaven will be relationships of complete love...
the love that can only come from God.
We will not be making choices or comparing one person to another person.
We will instead see the greater picture of what it means
to be a part of the entire Body of Christ.
There will be no jealousy or favoritism...
We will all be one with God.
When they rise from the dead,
they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but they are like the angels in heaven.
The love that we have for one another here on earth
pales in comparison to the perfection of heavenly love.
Let us strive to love as best as we can for a greater
experience awaits us in eternity with our heavenly Father.
