Gospel Nugget for today . . . .

God never scolds you when you pray for release from your adversity. It is only human to want relief. God understands this. Even Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane prayed to be spared from the horror of separation from the Father. He is a sympathetic Savior who never has a condemning thought toward you. However, remember that your petitions for deliverance may or may not be answered the way you expect.
