Isaiah 26:3

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

I sure needed this beautiful Scripture and uplifting song this week!  I don’t know about you, but I was beside myself at how many people around me were going through life changing events!  I am going to try to briefly share about those around me who need to have the supernatural direction and healing of the Holy Spirit.

For one thing, my husband and I are trying to get back on our feet from his hospital stay.  This has caused a setback not only in his health, but also in getting paid for about 4 weeks.  It has made us really sit down together and try to fine-tune our budget.

Not only have we as a couple had to seek the Lord and each other as to what to do, but my parents and sister have experienced situations that are driving them to the Lord.  My parents are encountering a situation where my mom has fallen a couple of times within the last three weeks. They are asking God if it is time for them to get a place without stairs.  In my sister’s case, she and her husband are having to move to a hotel because of unreasonable rent increases.  On top of this, her husband is in need of much assistance due to having a history of strokes.

On the subject of strokes, the last month has been one of our pastor and parents’ assistant pastor going through them.  Our prayers are that our pastor will have successful PT and OT treatment here in the future, and that God will reveal to him and his wife what should be done about pastoring. In the case of my parents’ assistant pastor, it is especially difficult because he is fairly young and has younger children.

The last person I will bring up is the elder Alan and I have been meeting with on Zoom, Tuesday evenings.  He and his wife are still grieving over the loss of their daughter.  While they are going through this loss, they are wondering if it is the right time to sell their place and relocate.  While we and all of you might be asking ourselves what is going on, it is not the time to believe we are going to fall apart.  It is the time to truly run to God and believe that He holds our breakthrough in His hands!  God bless you this week as you believe in His rescue!
