The Secret of Contentment

Prayer for today:

Jesus, Name above all names...Beautiful Savior... Glorious Lord... Emmanuel, God is with us... Blessed Redemmer... Living Word! To sing Your praises is a privilege and a joy. Precious, holy Lord - what in the world would we do without You?!!

Father, those giants are still looming out there. The giants of AIDS, mosquitos, malaria, uncertain food, stomach problems, unknown languages, lack of air conditioning, lack of toilets, unclean water... oh my! Lord, we desire to be content in all situations. Help us to focus on You, "the secret" , as Paul did so that we see You instead of those giants. Forgive us for desiring the safety and comfort of home. We know that with our hope in You, we can take up that slingshot of faith and slay our giants in the name of the Lord God Almighty, for the battle is the Lord's! How exciting it will be to experience Your grace in Uganda for we know that Your power is made perfect in weakness. Yes Lord, with you we will delight in our weaknesses and difficulties... For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10)

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)

We believe with all our heart that the prayers of a righteous "Agape Team" are heard by and acted on by a Holy God. Amen!
