- Go wherever God wants, being 100% available for His use
- Pray for all of life, large and small, as the outcome of faith

Digging Ditches
By Helen Roseveare
God gives us the valleys and we are to dig the ditches (II Kings 3:16), trusting that they will be filled with life-giving water at the appropriate time. This is an inspiring story. It shows that at times when God's blessings seem withdrawn — they are subsequently shown to have been there all the time. If you have ever experienced times when God's call on your life seems remote, or you are encountering trials and problems, you will find refreshment from Helen's pen. She shows how "trusting in the Lord" can be a gritty, rewarding drama rather than a wispy platitude.
