Does it serve any useful purpose to look backwards? And while
looking backwards, does it serve any purpose to pray for or about incidents
that have already passed?
In his first newsletter for the New Year, our
pastor shared a discussion he had with another pastor: “... [We] were talking
about prayer and he told me that he prays for Civil War generals. ... He
explained that God sits outside of time, meaning God is not bound by time, so
He can be at work in all times simultaneously....Maybe the outcome we know
[from the Civil War] is because God has
already considered these prayers I offer today.” Wow!
