I was walking in the park talking to some of the residents and one in particular told me how glad he was for us being here. He has recently gone through a divorce. He told me how it encouraged him to talk and listen. Even if we are not preaching we are sharing the Word.
We have received several prayer needs, death and health issues. I just want you to know, LaVon and I pray for each of these request often until we here back from you.
When we lose a loved one—He is inviting us to draw near to Him in our sadness. When we experience an illness—He is inviting us to trust that our future is in His hands.
Although God often gives us glimpses of how He is working in our lives, we will never know exactly what He is doing. We cannot control the past, present, or future, but we can choose how we will respond.
In seasons of silence, doubt, and heartache, how will you respond? Will you let fear, anger, and distrust win, or will you press into the only One who can bring you peace, healing, and redemption? When the storms come—and they will—run into the open arms of Christ.
Prayer: Lord, You are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love (Psalm 145:8). When I experience disappointment or loss, I pray that my first response would be to run to You. Amen.
“Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge” (Psalm 62:8).
We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and gifts.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
