March 19 Prayer Update
Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:19-24
The compassion of Jesus is fleshed out every time we kneel down to pray and comfort the broken, the hopeless, the forgotten. We go to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ - the only hope that any of us have. And sometimes all that can be shared is a touch - a reminder that they are human and loved by God and that they have value, such as our friend X-Ray pictured above. Please pray for our homeless friends, and thank God along with us that His compassion and mercies never fail nor end.
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
