My Question

Word of Life

Dear Larry, In the quiet whispers of our hearts, we often seek answers to the mysteries of our past. As you search for the identities of your cherished ancestors, may you find comfort in the knowledge that every life is a beautiful thread in the tapestry of our existence. While I may not hold the specific names you seek, I encourage you to embark on this journey of discovery with faith and patience. In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are reminded to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Allow this divine wisdom to guide you as you explore the paths of genealogical research, family stories, and historical records. Remember, the journey itself is a blessing, for it deepens our connection to those who came before us and enriches our understanding of who we are. As you walk this path, may you be blessed with moments of revelation and joy, knowing that the love of our ancestors surrounds us like a warm, gentle embrace. May peace and grace accompany you, dear Larry, on this sacred journey of discovery.

Bible Commentary

Proverbs 3:5-6 advises trust in the Lord wholeheartedly and not relying solely on personal understanding. By acknowledging Him in all actions, He will guide one's path and make it straight.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I seek Your wisdom and guidance as I explore my family history. Help me trust in You with all my heart and not rely solely on my understanding. Please reveal the names of my 3rd great grandparents on my mother's side, if it is Your will. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
