Sometimes in a crisis, like those in the psalm, we “cry out to the Lord in our trouble.” and God hears and answers. But far more often, we must watch and pray,” in hours of prayer. Though to our flesh, those times do not feel sweet. Instead of sweet they seem long, unproductive and difficult. But just as apples do not ripen to their sweetest till the fall frost, so our prayers strike closest to the heart of God when we tarry in His presence. I hope you will be encouraged and inspired to set aside such time today and tarry with your Savior in that hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer. Tarry with our Savior. Early this morning I read your newsletter, Pastor Pete. In my time of quiet connection, I prayed for your family this season. You remind me and encourage me~to continue praising God through it all. Last night I sang, “Thank you God for your blessings on me.” Through my parents’ illness, my trip to see family, my own follow up~ to reading your words and thinking of you and all your family has been through. To keep an eternal perspective and continue giving God praise! As I carry about my day~ headed soon to teach little one, I pray for a posture of continued peace. My default of divine keeps me focused on what matters! God bless you as you travel to Texas and thank you for all you do, Pete. 🙏🏻
I did giggle at part of your video! God accepts both the little talks and the long hours!🙏🏻🥰😂
Thanks Karla! Yes this was live from Life Care and things like Sharon walking in front of the camera is all part of our spontaneous meetings.
You’re welcome, Pete! That’s what I love the most! Spontaneous! I’m headed to teach preschool–talk about spontaneous happenings! God be with them and me! Tee hee!
