The vision of the International

Praise and Prayer Request
for the Week of 15th-21st May
Give Thanks for Everything!
Give
thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Are you able
to give thanks in the middle of the storm?
When difficulties arise, do you view them as opportunities of spiritual
growth? If not there are room for
spiritual growth. We can look at
adversities as the weights and pullies which results in strong spiritual
muscles. Seek areas where you can leave
your cares into the capable hands of our Lord and Savior Jesus. We can trust him to direct our lives. There is no need to push our selfish addenda,
but trust the One who paid the price of our eternal salvation for all things. 6”Humble
yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you
at the proper time, 7 casting all your care on Him, because He
cares about you”. (1 Peter 5:6-7)
