Gladness

Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. (Psalm 90:15 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• God has the amazing ability to turn bad to good, to replace loss with gain, and along the way, help us learn and benefit from trouble in ways that compensate for past misery and intensify our current state of gladness.

Pray today:

• For goodness and gladness to overflow the people of Emmanuel College, for perspective to see the past as a launching pad to a bright and promising future, for patience to allow God to shape us into instruments of his will, for sturdy resolve to implement his plan.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
