VICAR

Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine I trust that my weekly message finds You and Your family well. These are strange days indeed. I hope that You find time to enjoy the beauty in life and do not get held back by the ugly.

Do you sometimes feel like it’s you against the world? Do you sometimes feel like you’re discouraged and wrestling inside? If you’re feeling this way, it’s important to lift up prayers to move past your discouragement. When something bad happens, don’t just throw out a few brief prayers for God’s help, and then move on in discouragement if the situation doesn’t change for the better soon. Instead, grab hold of God’s promises and fight to seem them unfurled.

If you’re ready for miracles to happen in your life, be persistent, praying until God gives you answers. Don’t give up praying about a situation until God’s power comes into it. Try the prayer below to move past discouragement.

I wish You all well. Have a peaceful and enjoyable Sunday. Pray for Your haters who stew in bitterness and bile. Try to remember to pray daily. Try to be good and kind to others. God Bless You all.

Heavenly Father,

I feel like giving up. Help me to remember the reason I began. Help me to see the purpose behind Your plan. Provide the necessary grace. Keep me set upon Your face, to find strength for the next step, to discover faith to keep trying and to believe that miracles are possible today and in all circumstances.

Amen.
