God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I have found it is impossible to be unforgiving toward those I am praying for. It's not easy to start praying for them; it's one of the hardest things I've done. But when I make that person an object of prayer, I open the door of my heart a little wider so that God can come in and breathe on my hardened heart, melting the icy resentment that is there.
When the river of suffering rages around you and you ignore prayer, there is no peace, righteousness, strength, growth, sustenance, joy, courage, and steadfastness. Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians that the path to peace is prayer. This is one of the amazing benefits of suffering – you can fully expect to find your times of prayer with the Lord to be sweeter, more engaging, more passionate, and more focused. Don’t expect to accept the plan of God without doing so in prayer.
Soak the gelatin in the water. Combine in a saucepan the cocoa, salt, milk,
sugar and coffee, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring it constantly.
Remove it from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Cool it until it has
slightly thickened, then fold in the whipped cream and vanilla. Pour the
mixture into a baked pie crust and top it with chopped nuts.
Variations: Graham cracker pie crust may be used.
Whipped dessert topping may be substituted for the whipped cream.
