Lord, 

I saw the report about the deaths of Your people (four IDF soldiers in Lebanon) and I feel used by someone (from the algorithm) that seems like a believer, and wondered what to do. I am also in pain from being injured, by just regular exercise and everyday activities. A challenging combination, just like all the things which seek to make me question You. You have met me this early morning,in the midst of my vulnerability and pain, and told me the pursuit of the flesh does not satisfy, that only You are enough. Then, because of the circumstances, You told me, “Come to me, all who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest.” Not perform, just come. (Come to me, who is your home.)

From one post about Solomon having 700 wives and still searching for satisfaction, then on to the poem about how the algorithm feeds our anger and discontent, then to another post about Jesus calling us to come to Him for rest, has come the answers to my prayers about what should I do. I wanted to know if I should seek justice from someone who is possibly a believer, and deny payment, for what I feel is my weakness being used against me, to the auction site. You are not telling me what to do, but showing me the proper attitude, from which will flow the confidence of faith, which makes the right answer, the correct action, as natural as breathing.

You would have me focus on YOU, the positive, inspirational path of life, so that I can avoid the problem of “Complaining is praying to the devil.” He wants to steal my joy and peace, and I would not yield any ground in my heart to that one.

Because YOU have satisfied me, have given me peace in the midst of my pain, I need seek no other thing. I am content to have seen Your Face, to have Your Presence with me. Even before You showed me these things, You were with me, to help me understand.
