From the Pulpit...

Christ is able to take care of us here while taking care of our eternal life as well. Direct our prayer toward Christ to ask His help. But do so in faith, trusting that the Lord will help you as He sees fit. Return to passages like this to review so that you do not get too far off base. It is easy to stray away and look at our own things, our own circumstances, our own problems, our wind and waves, and forget Jesus is in charge and is using all of that to improve our character.
