Strong in Faith

So we have been greatly encouraged in the midst of our troubles and suffering, dear brothers and sisters, because you have remained strong in your faith. (1 Thessalonians 3:7 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• God is our rescuer, for sure, but it is our brothers and sisters who bend to his will and obey his voice who provide helping hands and travailing prayers.

Pray today:

• For the people of Emmanuel College to do their Christian duty to encourage others in the Body of Christ as we have been encouraged, to pray for others as we have been prayed for, to lift the downhearted, to support the destitute, to cheer those who remain in the fight. 

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

“. . .they raised their voices together in prayer to God.” (Acts 4:24 NIV)
