First of all, let me just say, if it wasn't for my aunt that invited me to an early morning prayer line. I don't think I would be experiencing all the inner peace that I am currently experiencing everyday. At the start of this prayer band there is a prayer conductor, so to speak. She begins with reading Bible scriptures about prayer, faith, hope, healing and deliverance. Then after she has read the scriptures in our ears, She opens up the floor for prayer requests and praise reports. People are so happy that they have others who are supporting them in times of distress, hopelessness, fear, loneliness, sicknesses, and even death. It feels good to know you have others that genuinely care. And will go to God for you and call your name out loud so that God our Father can take notice of you and your concerns. Because we know God does care.
Hey I've had some tech issues while working from home! And they was taxing on my mind. Working from home has it's advantages, but we all know when you are experiencing tech issues you are alone and may have to troubleshoot them by yourself before you can get help from IT. When you do get a IT guy , they have to open a ticket first before they can even get around to you. This could take hours! But my point is that I was so frustrated from these tech issues one week. It looked like everyday I was having trouble logging onto my program. A program I had been using since the start of the pandemic-- yes! last year , April to be exact!. I'm like what's the problem?! But I didn't loose my inner peace, I first called down and took deep breaths. And of course prayed, did some meditating on the problem; along with some troubleshooting and God and me finally fixed the problem! You will never fail with God, prayer, faith and a little bit of patience.
Philippians 4:27-28 says " Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and there be any praise think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
"Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3.

Missionary Hughes of St.Louis wrote .Well times like these first of all we need a savior Who is able to provide a peace which passes all understanding he understands I will struggles but yet he is faithful to deliver us from whatever may be. We have to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, And fight the good fight of faith to stand against the wiles of the devil.And Prayer is a must consistently in order to keep the peace with all the world shaking around us.We also know that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of love and of power and of a sound mind so regardless to what’s happening…
