Care and Prayer

Making Sense Out of Bad Things

It is not always easy making sense out of life.  Maybe you are here because you are going through a difficult time in your life.  There are times when it seems God is no where to be found.  It is hard to understand why God would allow you or a loved one to suffer, or even worse yet, to loose a loved one.

It is through such encounters that one’s faith is challenged, and it stirs our souls to embrace new meaning that comes from these experiences.  Jesus understands what we are experiencing in our suffering and loss.  When we suffer, he feels our pain and wants to end it more than anything.

It is not our role to minimize or explain away what is happening in your life.  However, it is important to know you don’t have to go through life’s trials alone.  We want you to know that we will support you with our prayers.  We are there to love, to share laughter, to listen, or just to be there for one another.

Being Thankful

Our fast paced lives demand that we work long hours, grab some fast food as we drop the kids off for soccer, and so on.  We say life is good.  It seems like everything is going as we planned, yet often God is put on the back burner. 

Here is a story where you would think everyone would be praising God.  On His way to Jerusalem, Jesus healed ten men who had leprosy.  Only one of the ten came back to Him with a thankful heart.  God does not demand that we thank Him, but He is pleased when we do.  He uses our responsiveness to teach us more about Himself.

How can we pray for you?
