“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
-Jesus
It’s true, Jesus never leaves us nor forsakes us, but the same cannot said about me and perhaps you too.
How often do we wander away from the Lord, deciding we know what is better for us and that we can
handle it on our own. In my experience this can lead to disastrous results. Much better to run your plans
by God first, even better run to Him and invite Him to give you the plan so that you can follow Him. May
our loving Lord lead you to the most blessed year of your life!
Prayerfully,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
