Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
People refuse to pray to God for many different reasons. Some think God is very distant and far away and can't possibly hear their prayers. Others think God is so busy running the universe that He doesn't have time to listen to them. Still others think it's a waste of time speaking to someone they can't even see. Can I tell you, all of these reasons are wrong. God is right here with us and wants to hear from His children who follow Him. You are the greatest part of His creation and when we take our sin, our troubles, our thanksgiving, and our requests to him, He is pleased. It is true that we can't see God, but one day our faith will be sight.
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. 1 Corinthians 13:12
This week our brother Pastor Tobias Oriri was taken to the hospital with such bad swelling in his legs that he could not walk. We then saw the Body of Christ come together in prayers for his healing and wanting this to be God's will for him. I am glad to report that he has been released from the hospital and able to walk. God does not always answer "yes", but we are thankful to see this pastor restored so that he can serve God again.
