You Will Get Through This

Bow your head in the presence of the Lord Jesus and pray this prayer: Dear God, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe Jesus went to the Cross, died, took my sin upon Himself, and on the third day, He was raised by the power of God and that Jesus is alive. Today, I acknowledge that I’m a sinner. I am a sinner, Lord God, and my sin is before me, and my sin is separating me from You because You can have no part of sin. You are holy and righteous. Second, I confess that to Jesus, because Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and I believe in the Bible. I cannot come to the Father except through Jesus, because He’s the Son of God who gave His life. He paid the sacrifice. I confess to Jesus. Third, I put my trust in Him right now. I believe, and I pray this prayer in Jesus’ name, amen.

You Will Get Through This

“To everything, there is a season…A time to weep, and a time to laugh.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1 and 4

Sorrow comes to us in many forms. You can lose your job, your home, or your health. But nothing hurts more than when you lose someone you love dearly. Waves of grief will come at you like the ocean throwing its waves up onto the beach. Whatever you do, don’t drown. Don’t stop there and allow yourself to be pulled under by the current. Allow yourself to feel the grief without tying it around your neck.

Allow the weight of it to help you work through your thoughts, fears, and if necessary, your tears. Grieving relieves the soul, like exhaling carbon dioxide relieves your body. But there comes a point at which you must get up and go on.

In the stages of grief you go through shock, then denial, then bargaining, then depression, and finally acceptance. David said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff [of protection] they comfort me” (Ps 23:4).

When you get through this valley, you will be able to look back with more gratitude and less grief. Instead of focusing on what you have lost, you will be thankful for what you have left. And don’t be afraid to indulge in those rare moments of laughter that come even in the face of heartbreak.

Laughter medicates the soul and alleviates the tension of those times; it requires us to step outside our present pain and adjust our focus. This in itself is a healing balm. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine” (Pr 17:22).

No Matter Who you are……

There is a Home for You at the Church!

I Brother Thomas also prays for all the brothers and sisters in the U.S. and overseas soldiers and civilians pray that you have good eyesight today and good ears and pay close attention to your surroundings. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given up.

All we have to do is put our lives in neutral, get out from behind the steering wheel and let Him deliver us to where He wants us. Praying for friends, family and loved ones is another wonderful way to start each morning. It’s a selfless act that seeks to ask God for guidance and assistance for others.

From parents praying for their children to individuals invoking God on behalf of friends facing a difficult time, morning prayers for loved ones offer up inspiration and eternal perspective. Life is unfortunately filled with all sorts of temptations. Engaging in daily morning prayer is just one way to try and overcome the struggles that plague us. Focusing on God and His power over our lives is essential, as He has promised that we will not “be tempted beyond what we can bear.

“Whatever it happens to be, you may find yourself feeling weak, helpless, and powerless. When that happens listen closely and carefully and you will hear God saying, "My grace is sufficient for you."?Trust that. Lean into that. Know that it is true. Thank Him, and when you are sharing your story include this statement: "When I am weak, then I am strong. "When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

Prayer should be one of the driving factors of every single congregation. It shouldn’t take a severe illness or hardship to call us to prayer now, and it certainly shouldn’t take mass persecution to cause us to devote ourselves to prayer in the future.

What lessons do you think persecution would teach us? Can we learn them without having to be persecuted first? A bad job with a Good Boss is Better than a Good Job with a bad boss. I hope you have the Brightest and happiest day on earth as soldiers and civilians. Thank you, Uncle Sam, and Thank You Friends and Family; our Fallen Brothers and Sisters -in-Arms will always be with us, honored, and remembered! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, "ONLY" - BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

?Love Brother David (Juggernaut) Thomas In Jesus’s name. Amen."
