A Place for Prayer
Do you know that God cares?
Whether our needs are big or small, God wants us to talk to Him and ask for His help. When good things happen, it pleases God that we are thankful. Let’s remember to pray for each other!

The Lord is faithful and keeps His promises. We have experienced several miracles. The oldest lady in the congregation here (at the Bible Center in Makindu) was healed from having swollen legs and other problems. Now she is sharing about God’s goodness with other older people. Her mother, who is still alive, came and asked for prayer to be delivered from a demonic attack. The Lord delivered her, and we are so grateful. [Read more at livingwaterbarrenland.blogspot.com]
Recently, a mother of several children lost her job and had nothing for her family to eat. Her young son prayed for her to get a job and told her to go out and search for it. She testified that she started out late in the day, but the first home she went to gave her a job and is now paying her daily. She came to church beaming with joy and gratitude to the Lord!

I am thankful that there is always a reason to rejoice in the Lord. Even when we have trials and troubles, we can be thankful that God is able to help us and use them for our good (Romans 8:28). When we trust God, we can look at our problems as an adventure—what will God do next? Let us remember that God wants to help us every time and there is no reason to complain or worry! Pray for me, and I will be praying for you.
