Isn't that a lovely sentence? "God's voice thunders in amazing ways, and He does great things that are hard for us to understand." Let's praise God in prayer instead of spending a lot of time talking or thinking about how great He is.

Prayer

God is holy, just, and eternal. Only You are truly and completely holy. I love You, but I am unable to understand the far reaches of Your ways. Even on my best days, You are so superior to me that I find it difficult to comprehend why You would incur such expense to save someone like me. But, dear God, I give You my heartfelt thanks and praise. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
