Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
Save me, O God,
    for the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in the miry depths,
    where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
    the floods engulf me.
I am worn out calling for help;
    my throat is parched.
But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
    may your salvation, God, protect me.
I will praise God’s name in song
    and glorify him with thanksgiving.

— Psalm 69:1-3, 29-30

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

- Corrie ten Boom

Pray Together with Us

Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor and in misery,
a captive and forsaken as I am,
You know all man's distress;
You abide with me
when all others have deserted me;
You do not forget but seek me,
You will that I should know you and turn to you.
Lord, I hear your call and follow you;
Do help me.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
