Thoughts From This Week's Leader

For the Week of January 25,  2026

For the Week of January 25,  2026

Ministry friends of our are going through a tought time.  The  husband has a condition where he has had a hard time swallowing and frequently chokes.  Doctors told them that if it was not better by mid-January, they would do surgery. They were praying that Jesus would step in and heal him.  With discouragement, this did not happen. Last week they flew from Florida, to Toronto and on to Vancouver, where he would have this procedure done.  Somewhere in the Toronto airport his wife lost her wallet. She didn't realize it until they got to Vancouver and has not had any luck at getting it returned.  According to the doctors, Ken's surgery went well. However, the next day his left eye was drooping.  I received a text from Ava saying, "the Lord will not give you more than you can handle....yah right." (1 Corinthian 10:13) She is beyond discouraged, as she said she does not feel God's presence.  I know I have found myself in a place like this before.  Have you? 


Praise

Praise

God,
We are thankful that when we are weak, You are faithful. You see the limits of our strength, and meet us there with Your strength.  Thank you for loving us so much that You never leave us or forsakes us, even when we feel separated from you.

2 Corinthians 12:8-9
Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”


Lament

Lament

God,
In our humanity, we often feel that things are too heavy for us to carry.  We get discouraged, tired and don't know how to move forward.  When we get stuck and overwhelmed, please show us Your way to manuever through the difficulties. Forgive us when we forget to come to You for help. 

Psalm 61:2
From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Prayers for Our World

Prayers for Our World

God of mercy,
Be near to those who are carrying heavy burdens across the world. Please send Your comfort, peace and wisdom to them when they feel like they can't go on. Make your presence known and send help to those in need.

2 Corinthians 1:3–4  
The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort… comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble.

Hope

Hope

Faithful God,
You promise us a way through every trial. We know that You are aware of everything in our lives.; the good, the bad and the ugly. We also know that, in You, we have access to Your strength and that You work all things together for our good.

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
