Words from Wendy

“For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not
hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for
what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Likewise
the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we don't know how
to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with
sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart,
knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
Romans 8:24-27

We all have hope. Hope right now is what I hear people talk about with all the current events
happening and things that have happened. We know God’s got this yet we hope for peace and a sense of community among all even though we are different, have different thoughts, beliefs and understandings. We hope to be gracious to others' opinions when we don’t agree just as God is gracious to us when we don’t align with His direction or decision.

Let us pray,

God of our journey, we need a burning bush to set our hearts aflame with deep love for you. When the road of life seems long and tedious, when the dying and rising gets to be too much sometimes, be that pillar of fire by night and comforting cloud by day so that we can not only see the way but can be confident of your gracious presence which is our strength and our hope. We are on our way Home. Thank you for your nearness to us and for encouraging us to trust in you.

Peace,
Your SAM, Wendy
