Pastor Doreen,
My husband has come home. My husband has been attending church and was convicted to return home. This is a praise and I know is because the hand of our mighty Lord Jesus! Pastor I am now at peace. I had peace before because I know our prayers would be answered eventually.
Pastor, I know what the Lord has done for my family He is able to do for others. Tell them to wait upon the Lord. Tell them to trust God and not give up. Tell them not to lean to their own understanding and ask God for peace while they wait upon Him for their breakthrough.
Thanks again for your weekly counseling. I am aware many are not assisting you in the work you are doing, but in order to receive we need to give. I pledge to continue to support the work you are doing. Blessings to you. Simone

Being At Peace in Your Situation!!
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. (Isaiah 26:3)
Are you at peace in your situation? Do you know that it is possible to be at peace even while you are in the valley?
A Believer believes in things that are not seen. God is not seen but we believe He lives and watches over us everyday. The greatest authors of the bible stated that faith should be the corner stone of every person.
For with faith we can call what is not to be, we can move mountains, we can believe and have peace without any visible evidence.
Yet, despite the battles that rage all around, Jesus promised believers that He would fill them with the peace that surpasses all understanding. That peace only comes by trusting and following the path of Christ.
If you trust the Lord and lean not to your own understanding, you can have peace. Not the peace that the world gives, but the peace of God which passes all understanding.
God works everything for the good those who belong to him. The temporary struggles you face have divine ramifications as the hand of God uses them to form and shape you into the image of Jesus.
We read in 1 Peter 5:10, "And the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast".
After you have been through your painful trial, God himself lifts you up and restores you to wholeness. You can't lose in the battle you are in so hang on and know the power that lives in you.
Never surrender your joy no matter how dark your situation may appear. God always has a way to take you through it if you will believe and wait on His timing.
God 's power is more than enough for all that you need. You should keep that truth in your heart!
Dear Lord, I know that many are struggling in areas of their lives and they wonder if You truly care about what they are going through. I pray that You draw near to them in their pain and give them the strength they need to believe that You will not fail them. May You give them a very real sense of Your peace as you work out all their difficulties and make them strong, firm and steadfast in their faith. I pray this in the power of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
NOTE: As I prayed for Simone, I am also praying for each of you. Keep trusting. Will you support me in the work I am doing? Will you? Thanks in advance.
