Heavenly Father, there are so many that have been following this ministry who are battling storms in their lives. Some are battling sickness, some are grieving the death of a loved one. We pray that You speak peace to these brothers and sister in Christ and nurture their trust, even helping them to grow spiritually in the midst of their grief. May they see You at work even when the answers they seek are not the ones they are given. As believers we trust that You are working for our good, even when we don’t understand, for we know that all things work together for good to those who love You, who are called according to Your purpose. Help us to remember that our sorrows and disappointments have a larger purpose than simply to make us miserable. These often come so others can observe our response, to see if we bear witness to Christ’s abiding presence in our lives, in the hard stuff of life. Remind us that if we want to share in Your glory we must also share in Your sufferings (Romans 8:17). We don’t get to choose what sufferings we must go through, but we do choose our response; whether it glorifies You or glorifies our suffering. Help us we pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Greetings brother Shawn, thank you for your prayer of encouragement. It is so important to always be a Shining Light of Christ, no matter what we are going through. We are to be the bait that the fish will bite. Christ is in the boat. The fishing pole is the Cross, the fishing line is the Holy Spirit, the hook is the Bible and the bait is the Believer in Christ. The fish is the unsaved who needs Christ. We are the fishers of men.
