NO DISTRESS TO STRESS US

Prayer: Thank you for Your help in our lives each day.

Scripture: And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don’t even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. Romans 8:26 NLT.


Springs of Living Water (On the Road Edition)[from Sao Paulo, Brazil)

I have seen more interesting contrasts as I have driven around this third largest city in the world. I see great wealth contrasted with great poverty. I see great industry contrasted with destruction. I see great beauty contrasted with the unseemly. I see people in an endless pursuit of wealth and yet struggling to find peace. In short, I see ‘distress’ everywhere.

There may be distresses that you and I have to face from time to time. The wonderful thing to me about our life as Christ Followers, is that we have a promise from God to ‘help us in our distress.” How about this to make your day really exciting– God, Himself, has already prayed to Himself, about you to bless you and make you a blessing to others! That’s right, our Lord and Savior prays for us daily, hourly, moment by moment and responds to those prayers because God is only accountable to Himself for His ways and purposes. What better hands to be placing ourselves within each day than the hands of Him who IS LOVE. I think we can be comforted with this thought today, don’t you?
