Begin With Prayer

Sep 26, 2022    Beth Yokley

As you enter this time of reflection and prayer, slow down your thoughts and truly work to stop the world around you. The word teaches us to “take all thoughts into captivity.” So, take those racing thoughts and set them aside. Lay them down. You will be able to pick up your thoughts again soon. But in this time, in these moments of right NOW, belong only to Your Father. Turn your mind toward Him, encounter Your God and center yourself in His peace.

In services, Brian has been challenging us to BLESS 217. BLESS is an acronym, that gives us simple ways to bless those around us, in our community.

•Begin with prayer. Pray for the people in your life and the places that you’re in.
•Listen. Listen to and discover the needs of others and the places where God is at work.
•Eat. Share meals and spend time with people in my life.
•Serve. Respond to the needs of others and help them in practical and impactful ways.
•Story. Share the story of Jesus and what He is doing in my life with others.
