Praise and Prayer Request
for the Week of 08th-14th May
Where is Your Security?
You will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
(Isaiah 26:3)
Where do you find your
security? In the government? Your family? Your own strength and abilities? Or other material temporal things? The best method of finding security in this
world is to focus on Christ. Our continual
connection on HIM will keep us at peace.
The Holy Spirit that dwell within us will help us sort out the important
things and empower us to accomplish them. Keep your eyes upon Jesus. “So we
fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is
unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians
4:18)
