THOUGHTS NOT OUR OWN
John Stott Ministries
Stott by Topic
Anticipation
We anticipate the duties and problems, hopes and fears, of
tomorrow, next week, next year. We peer further ahead to possible
sickness and bereavement, to our death, to the Parousia, the
Resurrection, the new heaven and the new earth. Uncertainties
attend all these events, whether and when and how they will take
place. What is our wish, then, our prayer? Christians have only
one: 'not my will but yours be done'. We ask for guidance to know
God's will and for strength to do it.
