Something to Think About
Discouragement
Life is not easy
Not enough money
Not enough time
Troubles at work
We go to church to get built up. Rejuvenated.
Even pastors get discouraged.
Many people in the Bible were discouraged, but had faith to keep going.
Abraham
Abraham's wife.
Noah
Very few don't get discouraged.
Discouragement lasts for a day. Faith lasts forever.
Pastor Caroline
We need to draw into places where we can be encouraged like the retreat.
A time to be rested and filled. A time to reflect.
Prayer and Change
Daniel 6
Daniel with the lions.
Can one person make a difference?
Jesus made a difference.
Each one of our lives are changed by Him
Fifteen years ago our lives were changed by a few people.
Daniel 6:1
Daniel refused to not pray to God
The king had to give orders for Daniel to be thrown to the lions. When he went there in the morning Daniel was still alive. Angels had saved him from the lions.
King Darious decreed that the whole kingdom would worships he God Daniel worshipped.
When we are discouraged we have to pray.
Verse 19-22
Daniel knew the power of prayer. He was able to change the king
Prayer will change things
Never give up on prayer.
Our God is an awesome God
Everything we need God is.
Prayer brings comfort and peace.
Prayer changes things.
Prayer is like oxygen to our spiritual life.
