Happy Wednesday!


Great progress on the paper today and great Bible study tonight! 

Prayer: Lord of light and love, when the way is dark Your light is always there and always overpowers the darkness. The darkest place of all would be a place where You are not. But You promise to be the light that overcomes darkness and darkness has never overpowered Your light. Thank You, Lord, that when problems seem to overcome Your loving kindness You allow us to pour out our hearts to You. Your Word invites us to lay our burdens on You to carry and show us the way forward - into the light of Your glorious presence. Lord, in Your mercy, hear this prayer. Amen.

“Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”

Psalm 62: 8

I love the psalms. They bring such comfort to me. The most interesting thing about the psalms is that they were written as prayers to God, not God’s Words delivered to His people. This simple verse holds amazing promise and speaks to the character of God.

Trust in Him at all times. We are to trust in God at all times and for everything no matter what the problem or situation.

Pour out your hearts to him…God cares about us and our problems and hurts and wants us to share them with him in trust and confidence that whatever is going on in our lives is important to Him.

For God is our refuge…we and our problems and situations are safe with God. There is no condemnation for us because God loves us so much  when we go to Him in prayer we can bask in His radiant presence.

When we unburden ourselves at the feet of the Lord then His energy recharges us and the light of God overcomes the darkness we feel around us and illumines our souls with the brilliant light of His Presence. We will find ourselves bathed in the light of God’s unfailing love where no darkness can abide.

Take joy in the journey remembering that hope does not disappoint. Wear comfortable shoes, pray with a heart filled with gratitude, cast your burdens on Him who loves us so much and get some sleep. God is up all night anyway so there is no need for all of us to be up too. Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene.



I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I believe God.
