Theme of message: Peace, Comfort, Freedom
My personal prayer for today’s message is: God help me to see you and your promises of deliverance in your word. This is not an easy battle to engage in and can often be quite frustrating and tiring. You have seen me through many difficult times. Help me to keep trusting in you for the future that the anxieties of this life will be covered with your word and promises.
How does this message apply to me? I need to learn to trust God in all circumstances and with everything in my life.
