God Of All My Days - Casting Crowns - with Lyrics
“And not only this, but we also exult in our
tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance,
proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy
Spirit who was given to us.
“For while we were still helpless, at the right time
Christ died for the ungodly. For one
will hardly die for a righteous man, though perhaps for the good man someone
would dare even to die. But God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.” Romans 5:3-8
- Take time to watch the video. Listen to the words and focus your heart
on your loving heavenly Father.
- Then get something to drink, grab your Bible
and notebook.
- Find a fresh page and mark down Romans
5:3-8.
- Then head for a quiet place where you can
sit quietly for at least an hour.
- Read the passage through (you might benefit
from reading from verse 1).
- Then write it out in your notebook as a personal
statement.
For example:
‘And not only this, Father, but I also exult and
rejoice in the tribulations that I’m facing because I know that all tribulation
helps grow my ability to persevere and stand stronger in the future for the work You have set aside for me … ‘
- Take your time and imagine you are writing for
someone who may find your notebook after you are gone to be with your
Saviour.
- Answer the question: ‘How do I get hope?’
- What does it mean to you that ‘hope does not
disappoint’?
- Pray and thank the Lord for His loving sacrifice
and the provision of all the hope He has provided for you in your life.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS and some UPDATES too!
- USA – that the Lord would demonstrate His power in
unexpected and uniting ways during these times of unrest and
confusion. Help hearts settle and
rest in Him alone. Let the truth of
God’s Word and ways overcome the drive to destroy our founding,
Bible-based values.
- Yalawe – no
update. He had his surgery (cancer)
on 15 October. Please pray for his
full recovery and that his health providers and family would be extra
gentle with him.
- SJ –
as he struggles with circumstances he did not anticipate. Pray for his willingness, for wisdom of
his counsellors as he wanders through this dark time. Pray for his ability to rest and forgive
himself.
- Annette and Lyle – Pray for travelling mercies as they begin the
next phase of their wonderful lives together and for good health and a
love that continues to bind them and their family together.
- UPDATE - Patti –
faithful daughter of Doris, wife of John.
A Proverbs 31 woman, who need strength, energy and the ability to
prioritise with grace and resolve.
Pray she will grow in confidence to say ‘no’ sometimes and enjoy a
new season of serving her husband.
- Terri – her
relationship of 13 years has just broken, and she needs prayers to travel
through this journey.
- Tracey –
Pray Tracey finds a new role that will satisfy her and allow her to grow
and share her skills and wisdom.
- Me – Please continue to pray for humility and
wisdom as I lead a Bible study at work.
(You can find the sessions here:
EspeciallyHis

trust in the Lord to provide a new project for me and through eye surgery
next Thursday.
