Thank you for your prayers

Picture taken last fall by Jack Tweedy - Waterfront Belleville

Image result for be still and know that i am god The above quoted famous Scripture Psalm 46:10 continues with...I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Oh, how we fret and worry about God's glory. "Where are you God?" we say when bad things happen, when we suffer are disappointed or our expectancies are not met. "Be still and know that I am God," He says. He will be exalted! People who have effectual and fervent pray take this posture.

Youth for Christ is called to lead young people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and disciple them to... Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end
of the age." Matthew 28:20

Even though the above fall picture screams the Glory of God,
God's glory is still best seen in His people. Genesis 1:27

Please take time to read the entire Psalm 46 in context as a prayer guide and join me in restful, believing prayer that God will be exalted in our youth.

Thank you.
