This week our studies continue the theme from Sunday - Now And Not Yet. Each day we look at another passage helping us focus our thoughts on what we have now from God and what will be fulfilled.
Let’s Pray For Social Witness
Pray for all who are living with an addiction, that they may become receptive to advice and help at this difficult time in their lives. Give thanks for all those working in the area of addictions – in offering therapeutic programmes and a place of safety to stay and recover. Debt Give thanks for organisations like Christians Against Poverty and others who support people overwhelmed by debt and financial challenges. Pray that those who are in difficulty will find ways to access the support they need. |
Julie shared this poem with me (which a friend had shared with her) which captures how many of us are feeling during Lockdown.
Let’s remember:
God has been preparing us all our lives for these hard times. We’re more ready than we feel.
By His grace, let’s keep taking one brave step after another. Let’s keep praying. Let’s stick together.
If we’ll do the obvious basics, we’ll do really well!
