What We Stumble Across Online, a message from Pastor Scott

October 3, 2018

Like me, you likely read far more than you’d like to online at times. Unsolicited emails bombard our “mailboxes”, pop-up internet ads frustrate our screens; but then, once in a while, while searching for something else, we stumble across that poem, or quotation, or some thought that lingers with us. While searching online for something entirely different, I paused long enough to read what is entitled:

“Best Prayer I Have Heard In A Long Time…”

An excerpt:

“Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.”

Read the full prayer in The Covenanter

God welcomes our every prayer – never hesitate to communicate with God – and hold a thought (or a prayer) for those you might never include in your prayers

For God’s Blessing Always,

This message from Pastor Scott also appears in The Covenanter – Volume XXXVII, Issue 16
