THEY NEED OUR HELP

Romans 5 3-5 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

We have yet to learn what it is to not have; we may have missed a bill payment, a car note, or a mortgage payment. But only a few of us know what suffering is. For instance, not knowing where our next meal will come from or having to drink and bathe in the same water. Most of us have never been homeless or made to wear the same clothes for weeks. We have yet to learn what it's like to make our own shoes from the material we find on the sheets. Right now, many people are suffering financially, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, so we can jump right in and help with at least one of their needs. We all have enough to share with someone in need.

Lord, reveal the true meaning of our blessings; they're not to enhance our lives but for us to help improve others. Lord, teach us that the more we give, the more room we make for You to move in a mighty way 🙏 Father, let us not give for show but to bless others the way You bless us, in silence 🙏 Lord, we thank You for all the Spiritual Soldiers You surrounded us with and the Guardian Angels that keep the fiery arrows of our enemies from harming us. Thank You for a new day to get it right with You and others. Thank You for Your hedge of protection around our children, and our children's children continue to cover us in the Blood from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet. Touch our hearts with Your grace and give us eyes to see life from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions. Lord, we come to the altar with gratitude, praying for those in need and suffering worldwide. Father, we pray for those suffering right here at home who need our help. So, give us Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives as we go out into this dark world 🌎 carrying Your light. Help us guide those lost to You, just as someone guided us. Lord, bless those that have gotten so overwhelmed that they are contemplating suicide. Lord, grab their hands, touch their hearts, let them know that they are not alone and it does get better in Jesus' name amen.
