Jamey's Newsletter: Sunday, February 25, 2024
When it comes to prayer, we have lots of questions. And if we are not careful, we can let the questions keep us from praying.
Conversation with God is at the heart of prayer. In Jesus, we discover a God who identifies with us. He walked, ate, slept, faced temptation, and endured suffering just like the rest of humanity. He identifies with our weakness so that we might find strength in Him.
Your prayers matter. They are important. In heaven, we are told that Jesus is interceding for us. He is praying for us.
So, friends, what concern do you have today? Take them to the Lord in prayer.

Weekly Prayer
Gracious God, our hearts are filled with questions, doubts, and uncertainties, yet we are reminded that these should not keep us from seeking Your presence. May we find the peace that surpasses all understanding in You, our God who identifies with us. Strengthen us to face each day with courage, knowing that we do not walk alone. Your Spirit guides us, Your love surrounds us, and Your grace is sufficient for every need. Amen.
