from the week of oct 12

“I Lift My Eyes To The Mountains – Where Does My Help Come From?
My Help Comes From The LORD, The Maker Of Heaven And Earth.”  
Psalms 121.1-2

weekly Prayer Letter

Prayer Matters.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. Brothers and sisters, pray for us.” 1 Thessalonians 5.16-25


My dad is dying. We’ve been on this journey with him the past seven months and it has been hard. But let me tell you, God has been with us the entire way and oh, so many sweet blessings we’ve received. We don’t know how much longer we have with him – could be months. Or not. But we do know the moments we get to be by his side are moments we will treasure the rest of our lives. God is good and he is faithful. We trust in his timing and in his sovereignty. He is our peace.

How are you trusting and thanking God today? How can we be weaving God’s promises into the prayers we lift up for our church families’ requests in this letter? Prayer matters and God is listening.

With great expectation in Father God,
Ericka Clark
