Broken City 

Conclusion by Lynn Vincent

     Lynn claims to wake up happy in the morning because the world is ending. 

     "Not happy in suffering. But happy in hope - in God's plan, however inscrutable it may be. 'We may fear that God's designs are all against us,' wrote Matthew Henry." 

      But as to God's own people, even that which seems evil, is for good. "He will give them the expectations of their faith, the end he has promised, which will be best for them." 

     "When some people of Israel returned from captivity in Babylon, Jerusalem was a broken city. But under God's almighty hand, they overcame corrupt officials, antagonistic historians, and (enemies of the rebuilding)." 

     "Like many of us, they were caught between the way things are and the way they used to be. But pining for the past cannot fix the future. And having only a light for our paths and a lamp for our feet, we cannot see how these evil days will lead to "that which will be best." 

     "My plan is to pray for the welfare of my broken city today and to trust in God for tomorrow," she wrote.
